This paper constitutes a response to Lust & Mazuka's (1989) defence of the Principal Branching Direction parameter and their critique of O'Grady, Suzuki-Wei & Cho's (1986) experiment, which purported to show that even children learning left-branching languages exhibit a preference for forward patterns of anaphora. Results of new experimental work with children learning Japanese are reported and shown to support the claim that there is a universal preference for forward patterns of anaphora in the early stages of language acquisition.
本文是对勒斯特和马祖卡（1989）对主要分支方向参数的辩护及其对奥格雷迪、铃木-魏和赵（1986）实验的批评的回应。奥格雷迪等人的实验旨在表明，即使是学习左分支语言的儿童也表现出对前指模式的偏好。本文报告了对学习日语的儿童进行的新实验工作的结果，这些结果支持了在语言习得早期对前指模式存在普遍偏好这一说法。
