摘要

关于儿童何时理解回指指称表达对语篇指称对象不同程度可及性的信号作用，我们知之甚少。这项视觉世界研究调查了讲德语的三到四岁儿童在提及高度可访问的话语指称的情况下，对重复名称和人称代词的在线处理和离线解释。重复的名字是低可及性的标志，而人称代词优先用于指代高可及的指称。对于在线处理，结果显示了指称表达的显著影响：孩子们在听到人称代词后比在听到重复的名字后更经常地看目标图片。离线结果显示两种情况之间没有显著差异。我们得出的结论是，德语学龄前儿童在在线处理过程中对可达性标记的功能很敏感，并认为在线和离线结果之间的差异可能是由于任务需求的不同。

Are preschool children sensitive to the function of accessibility markers? A visual world study with German-speaking three- to four-year-olds

Abstract Little is known about when children understand the function of anaphoric referring expressions to signal different degrees of accessibility of discourse referents. This visual world study investigates German-speaking three- to four-year-olds’ online processing and offline interpretation of repeated names and personal pronouns in a context where reference is made to highly accessible discourse referents. Repeated names are markers of low accessibility, whereas personal pronouns are preferentially used to refer to highly accessible referents. For online processing, results showed a significant effect of referring expression: children looked at the target picture more often after hearing a personal pronoun than after hearing repeated names. Offline results revealed no significant differences between the two conditions. We conclude that German-speaking preschool children are sensitive to the function of accessibility markers during online processing, and suggest that the difference between online and offline results may be due to the different task demands.
