《国际儿童语言研究方法:CHILDES国际儿童语料库数据储存和分析系统》内容简介：指南的译本和实证研究语料，将促进在单语和双语情境下汉语第一语言习得研究方面的进步。当然，这仅仅是个开始。对于汉语普通话而言，我们依然缺少类似现有的广东话以及多种欧洲语言的细致的纵向研究。在各种可用的汉语语料库中，仅Tardif从北京采集的叙事语料以及香港中文大学的双语语料库有音频链接。

How do children learn that the word "dog" refers not to all four-legged animals, and not just to Ralph, but to all members of a particular species? How do they learn the meanings of verbs like "think," adjectives like "good," and words for abstract entities such as "mortgage" and "story"? The acquisition of word meaning is one of the fundamental issues in the study of mind.
According to Paul Bloom, children learn words through sophisticated cognitive abilities that exist for other purposes. These include the ability to infer others' intentions, the ability to acquire concepts, an appreciation of syntactic structure, and certain general learning and memory abilities. Although other researchers have associated word learning with some of these capacities, Bloom is the first to show how a complete explanation requires all of them. The acquisition of even simple nouns requires rich conceptual, social, and linguistic capacities interacting in complex ways.
This book requires no background in psychology or linguistics and is written in a clear, engaging style. Topics include the effects of language on spatial reasoning, the origin of essentialist beliefs, and the young child's understanding of representational art. The book should appeal to general readers interested in language and cognition as well as to researchers in the field.

儿童语言习得研究对语言学、心理学以及认知科学研究有重要作用，本书分别从语音、词汇及语义、语法结构三个方面考察汉语儿童早期语言的发展特征。由于词汇、语法及语句的项目繁多复杂，在一些重要问题上，如方位范畴、时间范畴、多义词及相关语义范畴、主观化表达手段、主谓结构、被动结构等，本书做了专门的研究。本书各篇既有内在逻辑性又可以独立成篇，力求介绍汉语儿童早期词汇语义、句法习得基本面貌，并主要在认知功能框架内对所发现的习得规律进行解释。
