Abstract

In this study, the relationship between gestures and vocabulary size in 177 Swedish-learning 14-month-old children was examined. Gesture use, receptive, and expressive vocabulary were reported by caregivers with the Swedish version of the MacArthur Bates Communicative Developmental Inventory, words and gestures, SECDI-1. Gesture types examined were referential gestures classified as either deictic gestures, conventional gestures, and object actions. A fine-grained analysis of gestures and lexicon was performed. Results show that percentage of gestures used by children significantly predicts percentage of words in their receptive vocabulary. However, looking at gesture type, only use of object actions significantly predicts percentage of words in the receptive vocabulary whereas use of conventional gestures does not. Deictic gestures showed a ceiling effect and were therefore not further used for analysis. The relationship between gesture use and vocabulary size was not impacted by semantic category (food or clothes). Vocabulary in both semantic categories was statistically predicted by object actions in only one semantic category.

14 个月大瑞典语学习儿童的手势与词汇量之间的关系。

本研究调查了 177 名学习瑞典语的 14 个月大儿童的手势与词汇量之间的关系。照顾者使用瑞典版麦克阿瑟-贝茨交流发展量表（SECDI-1）报告了手势的使用、接受词汇和表达词汇。研究的手势类型包括指事手势、常规手势和物体动作。对手势和词汇进行了精细分析。结果表明，儿童使用手势的百分比可显著预测其接受词汇中单词的百分比。然而，从手势类型来看，只有物体动作的使用能显著预测接受词汇中单词的百分比，而传统手势的使用则不能。指代手势显示出上限效应，因此没有被进一步用于分析。手势使用与词汇量之间的关系不受语义类别（食物或衣服）的影响。两个语义类别中的词汇量在统计学上仅受一个语义类别中物体动作的预测。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
