Many of the verbs that young children learn early have been characterized as 'light.' However, there is no agreed upon definition of 'lightness' and no useable metric that could be applied to a wide array of verbs. This article provides evidence for one metric by which the 'lightness' of early-learned verbs might be measured: the number of objects with which they are associated (in adult judgment) or co-occur (in speech to and by children). The results suggest that early-learned light verbs and heavy verbs differ in the breadth of the objects they are associated with: light verbs have weak associations with specific objects, whereas heavy verbs are strongly associated with specific objects. However, there is an indication that verbs have narrower associations to objects in speech to children. The methodological usefulness of this metric is discussed as are the implications of the patterns of distributions for children's learning of common verbs.
幼儿早期学习的许多动词被描述为“轻动词”。然而，对于“轻动词”并没有公认的定义，也没有适用于大量动词的可用衡量标准。本文提供了一种衡量早期学习动词“轻动词”程度的标准的证据：（在成人判断中）与之关联或（在与儿童的对话以及儿童所说的话中）共同出现的物体数量。结果表明，早期学习的轻动词和重动词在与之关联的物体范围上存在差异：轻动词与特定物体的关联较弱，而重动词与特定物体的关联较强。然而，有迹象表明，在与儿童的对话中，动词与物体的关联范围更窄。本文讨论了该衡量标准在方法上的实用性，以及分布模式对儿童常用动词学习的影响。
