ABSTRACT

Emerging audio technologies over the last decade have provided a new, unprecedented window into the everyday lives of infants and young children. These new approaches will allow us to begin to address longstanding questions about the nature of language experiences across languages, communities and situations and the role of these experiences in language development across contexts. Here, I discuss the primary technology, LENA®, as well as more recent technological developments, and some of the recent findings in this domain. I also describe recent efforts to leverage these capabilities towards a much broader vision of exploring diverse child language experiences using largescale collaborative efforts.

摘要

在过去的十年中，新兴的音频技术为婴幼儿的日常生活提供了一个前所未有的新窗口。这些新方法将使我们能够开始解决长期存在的问题，这些问题涉及跨语言，社区和情况的语言体验的性质以及这些体验在跨上下文的语言发展中的作用。在这里，我讨论了主要技术LENA®，以及最近的技术发展，以及该领域的一些最新发现。我还描述了最近为利用大规模协作而利用这些功能实现更广阔的视野来探索各种儿童语言体验的努力。
