Abstract

The valid assessment of vocabulary development in dual-language-learning infants is critical to developmental science. We developed the Dual Language Learners English-Spanish (DLL-ES) Inventories to measure vocabularies of U.S. English-Spanish DLLs. The inventories provide translation equivalents for all Spanish and English items on Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) short forms; extended inventories based on CDI long forms; and Spanish language-variety options. Item-Response Theory analyses applied to Wordbank and Web-CDI data (n = 2603, 12–18 months; n = 6722, 16–36 months; half female; 1% Asian, 3% Black, 2% Hispanic, 30% White, 64% unknown) showed near-perfect associations between DLL-ES and CDI long-form scores. Interviews with 10 Hispanic mothers of 18- to 24-month-olds (2 White, 1 Black, 7 multi-racial; 6 female) provide a proof of concept for the value of the DLL-ES for assessing the vocabularies of DLLs.

比较苹果和曼萨纳斯以及橘子和纳兰哈斯：衡量双语学习者英语-西班牙语词汇量的新标准

有效评估双语学习婴儿的词汇发展对发展科学至关重要。我们开发了英语-西班牙语双语学习者（DLL-ES）量表来测量美国英语-西班牙语双语学习者的词汇量。该量表提供了交际发展量表（CDI）短表中所有西班牙语和英语项目的翻译等值；基于交际发展量表长表的扩展量表；以及西班牙语语种选项。对 Wordbank 和 Web-CDI 数据（n = 2603，12-18 个月；n = 6722，16-36 个月；女性占一半；1% 亚洲人，3% 黑人，2% 西班牙人，30% 白人，64% 未知）进行的项目反应理论分析表明，DLL-ES 与 CDI 长表得分之间几乎完全相关。对 10 位 18 到 24 个月大的西班牙裔母亲（2 位白人、1 位黑人、7 位多种族母亲；6 位女性）的访谈证明了 DLL-ES 在评估 DLL 儿童词汇量方面的价值。

期刊介绍： Infancy, the official journal of the International Society on Infant Studies, emphasizes the highest quality original research on normal and aberrant infant development during the first two years. Both human and animal research are included. In addition to regular length research articles and brief reports (3000-word maximum), the journal includes solicited target articles along with a series of commentaries; debates, in which different theoretical positions are presented along with a series of commentaries; and thematic collections, a group of three to five reports or summaries of research on the same issue, conducted independently at different laboratories, with invited commentaries.
