在婴儿语言学习中，图像形式的感知优势在文献中得到了广泛报道，被Imai和Kita（2014）称为“声音象征主义自举假说”。然而，这方面的实证研究主要限于语音符号形式，这在日语等语言中非常常见，但在英语等印欧语言中较少。在这项研究中，我们将这一研究扩展到了拟声词，这些拟声词被认为存在于世界上大多数语言中，并且在婴儿的早期词汇中占主导地位。在图片映射任务中，10个月和11个月大的婴儿表现出对拟声词的加工优势（例如，woof woof）超过它们的常规对应物（例如，小狗）。然而，进一步的分析表明，输入可能在婴儿对这些形式的经验和加工中起着关键作用。(C)2017爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
A perceptual advantage for iconic forms in infant language learning has been widely reported in the literature, termed the "sound symbolism bootstrapping hypothesis" by Imai and Kita (2014). However, empirical research in this area is limited mainly to sound symbolic forms, which are very common in languages such as Japanese but less so in Indo-European languages such as English. In this study, we extended this body of research to onomatopoeia words that are thought to be present across most of the world's languages and that are known to be dominant in infants' early lexicons. In a picture-mapping task, 10- and 11-month-old infants showed a processing advantage for onomatopoeia (e.g., woof woof) over their conventional counterparts (e.g., doggie). However, further analysis suggests that the input may play a key role in infants' experience and processing of these forms. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
