How do infants represent objects, actions, and relations in events? In this review, we discuss an approach to studying this question that begins with linguistic theory-specifically, semantic structures in language. On the basis of recent research exploring infant cognition and prominent linguistic analyses, we examine whether infants representations of motion events are articulated in terms of the components proposed by Talmy (1985; e.g., path, manner) and whether infants' event representations are defined in terms of broad semantic roles (agent, patient, source, goal) as proposed by Jackendoff (1990) and Dowty (1991). We show how recent findings in infant cognition are consistent with the idea that the infant's representation of events is a close reflection of the linguistic categories. We especially highlight research that is explicitly guided by linguistic categories likely to have correlates in nonlinguistic cognition to illustrate the usefulness of using language to pose questions about early conceptual representations.
婴儿如何在事件中表示物体、动作和关系？在这篇综述中，我们讨论了一种研究这个问题的方法，这种方法始于语言理论——具体来说，是语言中的语义结构。基于最近探索婴儿认知和突出语言分析的研究，我们考察了婴儿对运动事件的表示是否是根据 Talmy（1985 年）提出的成分（例如，路径、方式）来表达的，以及婴儿的事件表示是否是根据 Jackendoff（1990 年）和 Dowty（1991 年）提出的广义语义角色（施事者、受事者、源、目标）来定义的。我们展示了婴儿认知中的最新发现如何与这样一种观点一致，即婴儿对事件的表示是对语言范畴的紧密反映。我们特别强调了那些明确受到语言范畴指导的研究，这些研究很可能与非语言认知中的范畴相关，以说明利用语言来提出关于早期概念表示的问题的有用性。
