Abstract

Children all over the world learn language, yet the contexts in which they do so vary substantially. This variation needs to be systematically quantified to build robust and generalizable theories of language acquisition. We compared communicative interactions between parents and their 2-year-old children (N = 99 families) during mealtime across five cultural settings (Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, Germany, and Japan) and coded the amount of talk and gestures as well as their conversational embedding (interlocutors, function, and themes). We found a comparable pattern of communicative interactions across cultural settings, which were modified in ways that are consistent with local norms and values. These results suggest that children encounter similarly structured communicative environments across diverse cultural contexts and will inform theories of language learning.

五种文化背景下父母与两岁孩子的进餐对话。

全世界的儿童都在学习语言，但他们学习语言的环境却大不相同。这种差异需要系统地量化，以建立健全的、可推广的语言习得理论。我们比较了五种文化背景下（巴西、厄瓜多尔、阿根廷、德国和日本）父母与其 2 岁子女（N = 99 个家庭）在用餐时间的交流互动，并对谈话和手势的数量及其对话嵌入（对话者、功能和主题）进行了编码。我们发现，在不同的文化背景下，交流互动的模式具有可比性，其变化方式符合当地的规范和价值观。这些结果表明，在不同的文化背景下，儿童会遇到结构相似的交际环境，这将为语言学习理论提供参考。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。

期刊介绍： Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
