兩歲幼兒在名詞前置與述語句式中新形容詞的習得

// Two-Year-Olds' Acquisition of Novel Adjectives in Prenominal and Predicative Sentence Frames

64名兩歲幼兒觀看配對影片並指認物品，分為「名詞前置」（形容詞在名詞前）與「謂語位置」兩組｜結果：名詞前置組學習顯著高於機會水準，謂語組未達｜結論：形容詞可學性取決於句法位置，常見的名詞前置有利初期習得，具語言習得與早教應用意義。

// This study tested whether two-year-olds can learn novel adjectives presented prenominally (e.g., "This is a fip cup") versus predicatively ("This cup is fip"). Sixty-four toddlers were randomly assigned to one of the two conditions, watched videos pairing novel adjectives with visual referents, and then pointed to which of two test objects matched the adjective. Children learned adjectives presented prenominally (above-chance selection) but were at chance in the predicative condition. The authors conclude that adjective learnability depends on syntactic construction, with the more frequent prenominal position better supporting initial learning.
