ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate sub-lexical segmentation in Spanish-speaking children based on the perception of regular syllables (pseudomorphemes), as well as their association with a visual referent. Both of these skills are the precursors to learning morphology for language acquisition. Twenty-three 12-month-old children participated; they were evaluated with three experimental tasks which tested their skill at segmenting pseudomorphemes from a set of pseudowords when they did and did not appear in the final position, as well as the association between them and a visual referent. The results showed that the children were able to segment the pseudomorphemes at the end of the pseudowords and tended to associate them with a visual referent. We also found that when the morpheme did not necessarily appear in the final position, the children who preferred that position looked at the referent for a longer time. These results reveal the skills that the children are developing on their way to learning morphology.

12 个月大的儿童学习形态学的先导技能(Habilidades 前体as para el aprendizaje de la morfología en infantes de 12 meses de edad)
摘要
本研究的目的是基于对常规音节(假语素)的感知,以及它们与视觉指示物的关联,研究西班牙语儿童的亚词汇分割。这两种技能都是学习语言习得的形态学的先驱。23 名 12 个月大的儿童参加;他们用三个实验任务进行了评估,这些任务测试了他们从一组假词中分割假词素的技能,当它们出现和没有出现在最终位置时,以及它们与视觉指示物之间的关联。结果表明,孩子们能够在伪词末尾分割伪词素,并倾向于将它们与视觉指示物联系起来。我们还发现,当语素不一定出现在最终位置时,更喜欢那个位置的孩子看着所指对象的时间更长。这些结果揭示了孩子们在学习形态学的过程中正在发展的技能。
