Conventional and displaced uses of pronouns in maternal speech to refer to the baby were investigated in a developmental study of six mother-infant dyads using video-recordings of their free play at three, seven and ten months. These pronominal uses were analysed in a number of semantic contexts to determine how interactive situations influence the use of different types of pronouns. Results show that third- and first-person pronouns occur significantly more often in the semantic context of affect-oriented activities than in the semantic context of goal-directed activities. For second-person pronouns the results are the opposite. The contrast found between these two contexts, i.e. where the child is presented as the agent of a meaningful activity or not, shows how the place constructed for the baby as an interlocutor in maternal speech evolves with age. This study underlines the part the third person plays with its descriptive value in the acquisition of the system of pronouns.
在一项针对六对母婴的发育研究中，通过记录他们在三个月、七个月和十个月大时自由玩耍的视频，对母亲言语中代词指代婴儿的传统用法和替代用法进行了调查。在多种语义语境中分析了这些代词的用法，以确定互动情境如何影响不同类型代词的使用。结果表明，在以情感为导向的活动的语义语境中，第三人称代词和第一人称代词出现的频率显著高于目标导向活动的语义语境。对于第二人称代词，结果则相反。这两种语境之间的对比，即孩子是否被呈现为有意义活动的主体，表明了在母亲言语中为婴儿构建的作为对话者的角色是如何随着年龄的增长而演变的。这项研究强调了第三人称代词及其描述性价值在代词系统习得中所起的作用。
