Abstract

Abstract The present research aims at finding to what extent social-pragmatic cues that conflict with mutual exclusivity lead preschoolers to exclude a novel object as a referent for a novel word. Sixty early and late 3-year-old preschoolers randomly participated in one of the three conditions. In the first condition, preschoolers’ tendency to select an unfamiliar object for an unfamiliar word is investigated in the absence of social-pragmatic cues that contradict mutual exclusivity. The second condition is aimed to investigate if partial social-pragmatic cues, such as pointing towards a familiar object, interfere with mutual exclusivity. In the third condition, pointing towards a familiar object is accompanied by gazing alternately between the familiar object and preschoolers to investigate whether preschoolers abandon or still honor mutual exclusivity. The results indicate that in the absence of any social-pragmatic cues, preschoolers use a familiar object as a cue leading them to match a novel object with a novel word. Partial cues such as pointing towards familiar objects do not make any significant difference in preschoolers’ familiar/unfamiliar object selection for an unfamiliar word. If both of the social-pragmatic cues are available, preschoolers suspend mutual exclusivity in indirect word learning situations.
三岁儿童标签-指称映射中社会-语用线索与互斥性的冲突性质
摘要本研究旨在发现,在多大程度上,与相互排斥相冲突的社会语用线索会导致学龄前儿童将一个新对象排除在外,作为一个新单词的指称对象。60名3岁早期和晚期的学龄前儿童随机参与了这三种情况中的一种。在第一个条件下,在缺乏与相互排斥相矛盾的社会语用线索的情况下,研究了学龄前儿童为陌生单词选择陌生对象的倾向。第二个条件旨在调查部分社会语用线索,如指向熟悉的对象,是否会干扰相互排他性。在第三种情况下,指向熟悉的物体,同时在熟悉的物体和学龄前儿童之间交替凝视,以调查学龄前儿童是否放弃或仍然尊重相互排斥。结果表明,在没有任何社会语用线索的情况下,学龄前儿童使用熟悉的对象作为线索,引导他们将新对象与新单词相匹配。指向熟悉对象等部分线索对学龄前儿童对陌生单词的熟悉/陌生对象选择没有任何显著差异。如果这两种社会语用线索都可用,学龄前儿童在间接单词学习情况下会暂停相互排斥。
