Vihman emphasizes the importance of early word production to the emergence of phonological knowledge. This emphasis, consistent with the generative function of phonology, provides insight into the concurrent representation of phonemes and words. At the same time, Vihman's focus on phonology leads her to possibly overstate the influence of early word acquisition on the emergence of sound categories that are probably purely phonetic in nature at the outset of learning.
维赫曼强调早期单词产出对语音知识出现的重要性。这种强调与语音学的生成功能相一致，为音素和单词的并发表征提供了见解。与此同时，维赫曼对语音学的关注使她可能过度夸大了早期单词习得对声音类别的出现的影响，而这些声音类别在学习开始时可能本质上纯粹是语音的。
