The reported study investigated the relation between children's single-word utterances and maternal single-word utterances expressing similar communicative intents. Twenty-four Hebrew-speaking dyads (the children about 1;6) were videotaped for 30 min in an unstructured session. Single-word utterances were analysed for their communicative intent and the relationship of the expression to the underlying intent was defined in the form of realization rules. Of 17,471 child utterances, 97.0% were realizations that were also used by mothers for expressing the same communicative intent. The most frequently modelled rule for an intent had the highest chance of being adopted by children, and the probability sharply decreased for the relatively less frequently modelled rules. The results suggest that children's single-word utterances are similar to, and probably learned from, single-word utterances of caretakers expressing the same specific communicative intents.
该报告的研究调查了儿童单字话语与表达相似交际意图的母亲单字话语之间的关系。24个说希伯来语的亲子对（孩子约1岁6个月）在一次无结构的会话中被录像30分钟。对单字话语的交际意图进行了分析，并以实现规则的形式定义了表达与潜在意图的关系。在17471条儿童话语中，97.0%是母亲也用于表达相同交际意图的实现方式。意图最常被模仿的规则被儿童采用的可能性最高，而相对较少被模仿的规则被采用的概率则急剧下降。结果表明，儿童的单字话语与表达相同特定交际意图的照顾者的单字话语相似，并且可能是从后者那里习得的。
