Abstract:

以45名3~5岁儿童作为被试，通过问卷调查、汉语沟通发展量表和父母汇报方式，考察来自不同家庭社会经济地位的儿童生产性词汇表达和使用方面的差异，探究家庭社会经济地位与儿童母语词汇发展的关系及其影响。研究发现，家庭社会经济地位与儿童早期生产性词汇量大小呈显著正相关，和儿童词汇和短句使用频率的相关性不显著。研究结论为低收入家庭实施儿童早期语言干预提供了可能，有助于缩小儿童语言发展的阶层差异。
This study examined the relations between socioeconomic status (SES) and children's vocabulary development in Chinese. A total of 45 kindergarten children (age 3~5) from various SES families participated in the study. Questionnaires were adopted to collect information of the parental subject, and “The Communicative Development Inventories of Mandarin” was used to administer measures for children of oral productive vocabulary size, frequency of vocabulary use and short sentence use. The results showed that SES has a significantly positive correlation with children's productive vocabulary size, however, it is not directly related to the frequency of vocabulary use and short sentence use for children. These findings make early language intervention possible and provide inspiration for specific interventions of low-SES children, which helps narrow the SES-related vocabulary gap among children, and plays an important role in promoting educational equity.
