The Effects of the Receptive sensitivity and the Productive Efficiency on the Development of Syntax among 3-6 Years Old Children  Abstract Successful mastery of a language should reveal itself in both comprehension and production and they are closely linked in language development. On the one hand, speech perception is a common phenomenon during the language comprehension and the efficiency of the speech processing in comprehension is a big puzzle in speech perception. On the other hand, in the context of production there are a number of possibilities for arriving at a comprehensible output and productive efficiency also affects children’s syntactic development. So the aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of the receptive sensitivity and the productive efficiency on the development of syntax among 3-6 years old children. A total of 160 participants pided into 8 groups (Chinese-speaking children in G1-G4/English-speaking children in G5-G8) were tested with between-participants variables: Receptive language age (3-year-olds/4-year-olds/5-year-olds/6-year-olds) in two experiments to investigate the effects of receptive sensitivity and productive efficiency on their syntactic development. 47163

接受性敏感与产生效能对3-6岁儿童句法发展的影响

摘要一种语言的成功掌握应该体现在语言理解与语言产出上，这两者的发展相辅相成，紧密联系。一方面，言语感知现象是语言理解过程中的一个基本现象，言语处理效率恰恰是该话题下的一个难解之谜。另一方面，就言语产生过程而言，语言产出的可理解性受到语言理解过程中很多因素的影响，也就是说，正确的理解也可以有不同的或甚至不正确的语言产出。产生效能也影响着儿童地句法发展。所以，本研究的目的就是要分析接受性敏感与产生效能对3-6岁儿童句法发展的影响。本研究共涉及160个被试儿童，分为G1-G8共8组，其中G1-G4是讲中文的儿童，而G5-G8是讲英文的儿童。根据被试间变量-语言接受年龄，将相应的两大组各自分为3岁，4岁，5岁，6岁四个小组，然后进行2个实验分别测试研究接受性敏感与产生效能对儿童句法发展的影响。
