儿童语言发展研究的新进展

20世纪中期儿童语言发展研究观点的最大变化是乔姆斯基(N.Chomsky)的先天语言能力说取代了行为主义的刺激——反应联结观,从而带来西方发展心理语言学的迅速发展。近年来,儿童语言发展研究的新进展比较集中地表现在:强调后期语言发展是儿童语言系统的重新组织与再认识过程;儿童语言的异常发展只是紊乱、迟滞的正常发展形式,积极探讨克服语言发展障碍的治疗与训练的对策;儿童语言发展规律的跨文化验证并分析不同语言系统中儿童语言发展的差异性;儿童语用技能的获得及其与认知、元认知发展的密切关系。

The New Progress in Child Language Development Researches

In mid-20th century, Chomsky's theories of nature linguistic competence in child language development had become dominant instead of behaviorism, which brought about the rapid progress in developmental psycholinguistics. In recent years, the new progress in child language development researches mainly lie in: stressing the reorganization of child linguistic system in later developmental stage; agreeing that child language abnormal development was a disordered and sluggish normal process, conducting related intervention study; putting emphasis on cross-culture study of child language development and analyzing differences in child language development between different linguistic systems; exploring the obtaining of child pragmatic skills and its close relation with cognition and metacognition development.
