论儿童词汇习得中的整体假设原则

整体假设是儿童习得词汇的早期所依赖的一项重要原则,它的存在使儿童将新出现的词汇作为物体的名称而不是物体的部分、属性、动作和空间关系.进一步分析此原则产生的原因,发现无论持何种语言的儿童在词汇习得的早期都倾向于使用整体假设将新习得的词汇作为物体的名称,可见,它具有跨文化的稳定性.但由于研究中各方面的局限,欲透析整体假设的性质尚需大量的研究.

Whole Object Assumption in Child Word Acquisition

Whole object assumption is an important principle in children's early word acquisition.Its existence makes children regard a new word as the name of an object rather than parts,attribution,action and spatial relation.Further analysis of the cause of the principle proves that children who speak different languages are inclined to regard a new word as the name of an object in their early word acquisition by applying whole object assumption.Therefore,it is charactistic of being stable in cross culture.But because of all sided limitations in research much more study will be needed before finding out the nature of whole object assumption.
