Abstract

In this commentary, I refer to the issue of typological differences and how they impact the acquisition data by discussing findings from Bangla. Previous and ongoing studies of the acquisition of Bangla reveal that several claims regarding children’s linguistic trajectory, emerging from some of the well-studied languages, are not confirmed. I also argue that language acquisition research is not adequately supported in the Global South and propose a few ways to support research on under-studied languages.

儿童语言研究中缺失的大多数：Kidd和Garcia评论（2022）

在这篇评论中，我通过讨论Bangla的发现，提到了类型学差异的问题，以及它们如何影响采集数据。先前和正在进行的关于孟加拉语习得的研究表明，一些研究良好的语言中出现的关于儿童语言轨迹的一些说法没有得到证实。我还认为，语言习得研究在全球南方没有得到充分的支持，并提出了一些方法来支持对研究不足的语言的研究。

Empirical papers range from individual case studies, through experiments, observational/ naturalistic, analyses of CHILDES corpora, to parental surveys.
