In this paper we propose a method for characterizing development in large longitudinal corpora. The method has the following three features: (i) it suggests how to represent development without assuming predefined stages; (ii) it includes caregiver speech/child-directed speech; (iii) it uses statistical association measures for investigating co-occurrence data. We exemplify the implementation of these proposals with data on the acquisition of the patterning of tense and grammatical aspect of four Russian children. The method, however, is suitable for a wide range of other acquisition questions as well.
本文提出了一种用于描述大型纵向语料库中发展情况的方法。该方法具有以下三个特点：（i）它建议如何在不假设预定义阶段的情况下表示发展；（ii）它包括照顾者言语/儿童指向言语；（iii）它使用统计关联度量来研究共现数据。我们用四个俄罗斯儿童获得时态和语法方面模式的习得数据来说明这些建议的实现。然而，该方法也适用于广泛的其他习得问题。
