Research on how language acquisition begins has been fragmented both in terms of scientific communities and in terms of the phenomena that are taken to characterize developmental progress. In her article, Marilyn Vihman argues for an integrative approach that takes the child's efforts at speech production as primary, and notes that infants' knowledge of how words sound may accrue over a protracted period developmentally. Here, I briefly discuss how reconceptualization of the process can help integrate perspectives previously at odds.
关于语言习得如何开始的研究，在科学界以及用于表征发展进程的现象方面都存在碎片化的情况。在她的文章中，玛丽莲·维赫曼主张采用一种综合方法，将儿童在语音生成方面的努力视为首要因素，并指出婴儿对单词发音的了解可能会在一个漫长的发育过程中逐渐积累。在此，我简要讨论一下对这一过程的重新概念化如何有助于整合先前相互矛盾的观点。
