In the period between sole use of single words and majority use of multiword utterances, children draw from their existing productive capability and conversational input to facilitate the eventual outcome of majority use of multiword utterances. During this period, children use word combinations that are not yet mature multiword utterances, termed 'successive single-word utterances' (SSWUs). The language development of five children, observed in play with their mothers, was studied longitudinally across the transitional period (age 1 ; 3 to 2 ; 0). Results demonstrate a common developmental trajectory from single words to SSWUs, formed with the support of conversation, to more independent SSWUs, and finally to majority use of multiword utterances. The children varied in the extent to which they produced SSWUs and whether they first produced across-turn versus within-turn SSWUs. Possible reasons for variability and why SSWU production may be important to the development of multiword utterances are discussed.
在单纯使用单词和多数使用多词话语之间的时期，儿童利用其现有的生产能力和会话输入来促进多数使用多词话语的最终结果。在此期间，儿童使用尚未成熟的多词话语的词组合，称为“连续的单词语”（SSWU）。通过对与母亲玩耍的五个孩子进行纵向观察，研究了他们在过渡时期（1 岁；3 岁至 2 岁；0 岁）的语言发展情况。结果表明，从单词语到 SSWU 的发展轨迹是共同的，这些 SSWU 是在对话的支持下形成的，从更独立的 SSWU 到多数使用多词话语。孩子们在产生 SSWU 的程度以及他们首先产生跨回合还是回合内 SSWU 方面存在差异。讨论了产生差异的可能原因以及 SSWU 产生为何可能对多词话语的发展很重要。
