Abstract

Kidd and Garcia provide a critical analysis of linguistic representation in child language acquisition. Their findings expose a rich irony: a field of study for which diversity of experience is a basic assumption has remained non-diverse in its empirical and theoretical pursuits. In this commentary, I discuss deep-rooted structural factors that have contributed to Western dominance in child language acquisition research. Future progress relies on our ability to enhance the visibility of under-represented participants, researchers, and evaluators.

从信息到行动:基德与加西亚评析(2022)

Kidd和Garcia对儿童语言习得中的语言表征进行了批判性分析。他们的发现暴露了一个丰富的讽刺：一个以经验多样性为基本假设的研究领域在其实证和理论追求中仍然是不多样的。在这篇评论中，我讨论了导致西方在儿童语言习得研究中占据主导地位的根深蒂固的结构性因素。未来的进展取决于我们提高代表性不足的参与者、研究人员和评估人员的知名度的能力。
