摘要

该研究收集并分析了996名说意大利语的儿童的数据，以评估基于动作的语法复杂性概念是否足以捕捉意大利语中政治和被动语态的发展趋势。本研究的第二个目标是研究工作记忆和句法发展之间的关系，探索数字广度越高，对复杂矩阵句的理解越好这一假设。结果证实了基于成分运动的语法结构排序的有效性，即状语和被动语态的发展是平行的，并且晚于规范的SVO句子。一般来说，工作记忆对句子理解也有影响，但标准测量(向前/向后的数字广度)在处理复杂结构(如定语和被动语态)方面没有表现出选择性优势。

What a thousand children tell us about grammatical complexity and working memory: A cross-sectional analysis on the comprehension of clitics and passives in Italian

Data from 996 Italian-speaking children were collected and analyzed to assess whether a movement-based notion of grammatical complexity is adequate to capture the developmental trend of clitics and passives in Italian. A second goal of the study was to address the relationship between working memory and syntactic development, exploring the hypothesis that higher digit span values predict better comprehension of complex matrix sentences. The results confirm the validity of a ranking of grammatical structures based on constituent movement, with both clitics and passives developing in parallel and later than canonical SVO sentences. Working memory also shows an effect on sentence comprehension in general, but standard measures (digit span forward/backward) do not show a selective advantage in handling complex constructions such as clitics and passives.

期刊介绍： Applied Psycholinguistics publishes original research papers on the psychological processes involved in language. It examines language development , language use and language disorders in adults and children with a particular emphasis on cross-language studies. The journal gathers together the best work from a variety of disciplines including linguistics, psychology, reading, education, language learning, speech and hearing, and neurology. In addition to research reports, theoretical reviews will be considered for publication as will keynote articles and commentaries.
