Infants use social cues like gaze and touch, typically during joint attention with caregivers, to decipher word meaning. Yet, studies on cues to word meaning primarily rely on structured tasks, where distractors are few compared to the countless objects that vie for attention in the home environment. Forty mothers and their 13‐month‐old infants were video‐recorded during home routines. From transcripts, 3,000+ “naming events” were coded for social (visual and manual) and contextual (location: room and place) cues to the object of reference. Mother and infant visual and tactile attention accompanied naming events with high regularity, and the objects mothers named were specific to room and place. Nested social and contextual cues infuse infants’ everyday language experiences in ways that help infants disambiguate word meaning.

破解密码：家庭环境中语言输入的社交和上下文线索。

婴儿通常在与看护人共同注意期间使用注视和触摸等社交线索来破译单词的含义。然而，对词义线索的研究主要依赖于结构化任务，与家庭环境中无数争夺注意力的物体相比，干扰因素很少。40 位母亲和她们 13 个月大的婴儿在家庭日常活动中被录像。从抄本中，3,000 多个“命名事件”被编码为参考对象的社会（视觉和手动）和上下文（位置：房间和地点）线索。母亲和婴儿的视觉和触觉注意力伴随着高度规律的命名事件，并且母亲命名的对象是特定于房间和地点的。嵌套的社会和上下文线索以帮助婴儿消除词义歧义的方式注入婴儿的日常语言体验。
