The present study analysed formerly unexamined indirect routes for relationships between time 1 maternal speech and later child language development. Ten normally developing children in Brown's early stage 1 and their mothers were the subjects. For each dyad, two free-play sessions occurring five months apart were videotaped in the subjects' homes. Mothers' pragmatic language use was coded from time 1 sessions. Child language level was coded at both sessions. Even though time 1 scores of the outcome were controlled, seven of the ten relationships involving mother speech and child language development were indirectly related through one of two time 1 child language measures. The results indicate that a mother-driven, direct influence model may be inappropriate for many mother speech-child language development relationships. We argue that child-driven and mother-driven explanatory models for the indirect relationships are equally feasible.
本研究分析了此前未经检验的、时间1的母亲言语与后期儿童语言发展之间关系的间接路径。十名处于布朗早期阶段1的正常发育儿童及其母亲作为研究对象。对于每一对参与者，在其家中对相隔五个月进行的两次自由玩耍环节进行录像。母亲的语用语言使用情况是根据时间1的环节进行编码的。儿童语言水平在两个环节均进行了编码。尽管对结果的时间1分数进行了控制，但在涉及母亲言语与儿童语言发展的十组关系中，有七组是通过时间1的两种儿童语言测量方法之一间接相关的。结果表明，母亲驱动的直接影响模型可能不适用于许多母亲言语与儿童语言发展的关系。我们认为，对于这些间接关系，儿童驱动和母亲驱动的解释模型同样可行。
