Abstract

In response to Kidd and Garcia’s survey that shows the paucity of authors and languages from the Global South in four leading journals of language acquisition, I argue that Mayan language acquisition has contributed in important ways to test theories in the field at large. I specifically outline major contributions from Mayan Tzotzil acquisition to topics of input, lexical, semantic and morphological development. Research on Mesoamerican languages is invaluable in understanding the implications of linguistic typology in language acquisition.

向玛雅·佐齐尔学习:基德和加西亚评注(2022)

基德和加西亚的调查显示，在四种主要的语言习得期刊上，来自全球南方的作者和语言很少，对此，我认为玛雅语言习得在很大程度上为测试该领域的理论做出了重要贡献。我特别概述了玛雅Tzotzil习得对输入，词汇，语义和形态发展主题的主要贡献。对中美洲语言的研究对于理解语言类型学在语言习得中的意义是非常宝贵的。

期刊介绍： First Language is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes the highest quality original research in child language acquisition. Child language research is multidisciplinary and this is reflected in the contents of the journal: research from diverse theoretical and methodological traditions is welcome. Authors from a wide range of disciplines - including psychology, linguistics, anthropology, cognitive science, neuroscience, communication, sociology and education - are regularly represented in our pages. Empirical papers range from individual case studies, through experiments, observational/ naturalistic, analyses of CHILDES corpora, to parental surveys.
