被动结构通常被认为是儿童语言中较晚习得的结构之一。研究表明，说英语的儿童在四岁左右就能很有成效地产生和理解第一个简单的被动结构，到九岁左右就能掌握更复杂的结构。最近的跨语言研究数据表明，这种模式可能不适用于不同结构的语言。本文提供了四名2岁、0岁、3岁、6岁的因纽特儿童的数据，这些数据表明被动句的简单形式和复杂形式的习得都相对较早。在这个年龄段内，儿童能够产生截断的、完整的、行动的和经验式的被动。本文探讨了这种早熟的一些可能的原因，包括成人的输入和语言结构。
Passive structures are typically assumed to be one of the later acquired constructions in child language. English-speaking children have been shown to produce and comprehend their first simple passive structures productively by about age four and to master more complex structures by about age nine. Recent crosslinguistic data have shown that this pattern may not hold across languages of varying structures. This paper presents data from four Inuit children aged 2;0 tc 3;6 that shows relatively early acquisition of both simple and complex forms of the passive. Within this age range children are productively producing truncated, full, action and experiential passives. Some possible reasons for this precociousness are explored including adult input and language structure.
