摘要
目的/目标/用途/研究问题:本研究评估了儿童和成人遗产讲者(HSs)对差别宾语标记(DOM)的生产性和接受性知识,并探讨了年龄、熟练程度和使用频率在解释变异性中的作用。设计/方法/途径:共有 127 名参与者完成了一项句子完成任务(SCT)和一项词形选择任务(MST),这些任务针对的是有生命和特定直接宾语的 DOM。五年级、七年级/八年级和成人 HS 组与一组以西班牙语为主的双语成人组一起参加。数据和分析:所有回答均按 DOM 编码,并进行二项逻辑回归,其中包括组别、任务、熟练程度和西班牙语使用频率的影响。能力调节了各年龄组 HS 之间的差异,参与者选择 DOM 的可能性大于制作 DOM 的可能性,尤其是在使用西班牙语频率较低的情况下。原创性:这项研究首次描绘了西班牙语学习者从童年晚期到成年期的发展过程,并结合了制作任务和接受测量来探索学习者的整体语言系统。意义/影响:这些研究结果表明,在群体、个体和内部语言水平上,有一些因素可以解释制作和选择 DOM 的差异。这对语言习得理论产生了影响:梯度知识与 DOM 的不完全习得不一致,但不同年龄组之间知识的增加并不支持特征的重新组合。
Acquiring differential object marking in heritage Spanish: Late childhood to adulthood
Aims/objectives/purpose/research questions:The present study evaluated child and adult heritage speakers’ (HSs) productive and receptive knowledge of differential object marking (DOM) and addressed the roles of age, proficiency, and frequency of use in explaining variability.Design/methodology/approach:A total of 127 participants completed a sentence completion task (SCT) and a morphology selection task (MST) targeting DOM with animate and specific direct objects. Fifth grade, seventh/eighth grade, and adult HS groups participated alongside a group of Spanish-dominant bilingual adults.Data and analysis:All responses were coded for DOM and submitted to binomial logistic regressions, which included effects for group, task, proficiency, and frequency of use of Spanish.Findings and conclusions:HSs’ DOM production and selection increased across age groups. Proficiency modulated differences between HSs of all ages and participants were more likely to select DOM than to produce it, particularly if they used Spanish less frequently. All HSs produced and selected DOM at least one time, but many differed from Spanish-dominant bilingual adults.Originality:This study is the first to plot the course of development across late childhood and into adulthood in Spanish HSs that incorporates both a production task and a receptive measure to explore HSs’ holistic linguistic systems.Significance/implications:These findings show that there are factors that can account for variability in the production and selection of DOM at the group, individual, and within-speaker levels. This has implications for theories of acquisition: gradient knowledge is inconsistent with incomplete acquisition of DOM, but the increase in knowledge across age groups does not support feature reassembly.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Bilingualism is an international forum for the dissemination of original research on the linguistic, psychological, neurological, and social issues which emerge from language contact. While stressing interdisciplinary links, the focus of the Journal is on the language behavior of the bi- and multilingual individual.
