Abstract

Research on early language abilities, much like psychology more broadly, has focused almost exclusively on infants from English and Indo-European languages, thereby limiting understanding of the role of varying linguistic experience that supports language abilities. We underscore Kidd and Garcia’s call to expand, diversify, and globalize language research. Using examples from motor development in which universality has long been assumed, we argue that embracing a cross-cultural perspective enriches theories of development more broadly. We conclude with suggestions for future directions.

畅所欲言：多样性和文化影响所有发展——基德和加西亚评论（2022）

早期语言能力的研究，就像更广泛的心理学一样，几乎只关注来自英语和印欧语系的婴儿，从而限制了对支持语言能力的不同语言经验所起作用的理解。我们强调基德和加西亚关于扩大、多样化和全球化语言研究的呼吁。我们以运动发展的普遍性为例，认为跨文化视角可以更广泛地丰富发展理论。最后，我们对未来的发展方向提出了建议。

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.
