许多研究表明，婴儿在出生后的第一年就开始学习母语的韵律、语音和音律特征。与此同时，婴儿开始将声音序列与语义表征联系起来。然而，这两个过程如何相互作用的问题在很大程度上仍然是未知的。本研究探讨了母语中语音序列的相对趋音概率是否（以及何时）对婴儿的单词学习产生影响。我们利用的事实，唇冠状（LC）的话是更频繁的冠状唇（CL）的话在法国，法国学习的婴儿更喜欢LC CL序列在10个月大，探讨的可能性，LC结构可能更容易学习，因此在较早的年龄比CL结构。研究人员记录了14个月和16个月的法语学习儿童在观看动画片时的眼动。实验涉及四次测试LC序列的试验和四次测试CL序列的试验。我们的数据表明，16个月的婴儿能够学习LC和CL词，而14个月的婴儿只能学习LC词，这是具有更频繁的语音定位模式的词。目前的研究结果提供的证据表明，婴儿的母语的语音定位模式的知识影响他们的单词学习：与那些概率较低的单词相比，具有频繁的语音定位结构的单词可以在更早的年龄获得。发展变化进行了讨论，并与以前的研究结果相结合。
Many studies have shown that during the first year of life infants start learning the prosodic, phonetic and phonotactic properties of their native language. In parallel, infants start associating sound sequences with semantic representations. However, the question of how these two processes interact remains largely unknown. The current study explores whether (and when) the relative phonotactic probability of a sound sequence in the native language has an impact on infants’ word learning. We exploit the fact that Labial-Coronal (LC) words are more frequent than Coronal-Labial (CL) words in French, and that French-learning infants prefer LC over CL sequences at 10 months of age, to explore the possibility that LC structures might be learned more easily and thus at an earlier age than CL structures. Eye movements of French-learning 14- and 16-month-olds were recorded while they watched animated cartoons in a word learning task. The experiment involved four trials testing LC sequences and four trials testing CL sequences. Our data reveal that 16-month-olds were able to learn the LC and CL words, while14-month-olds were only able to learn the LC words, which are the words with the more frequent phonotactic pattern. The present results provide evidence that infants’ knowledge of their native language phonotactic patterns influences their word learning: Words with a frequent phonotactic structure could be acquired at an earlier age than those with a lower probability. Developmental changes are discussed and integrated with previous findings.
