Journal of Child Language

期刊简介：A key publication in the field, Journal of Child Language publishes articles on all aspects of the scientific study of language behaviour in children, the principles which underlie it, and the theories which may account for it. The international range of authors and breadth of coverage allow the journal to forge links between many different areas of research including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests: phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and any other recognised facet of language study. Research involving reading development may be considered when there are clear implications for child language. Research examining methodological approaches and/or interventions must have explicit relevance to the understanding of child language, and make a substantive empirical or theoretical contribution. The journal normally publishes full-length empirical studies or Research Articles as well as shorter Brief Research Reports , and occasionally publishes Review Article s. To be appropriate for this journal, Research Articles and Brief Research Reports should include some quantitative data analyses, and articles based on case studies need to have a convincing rationale for this design. The journal publishes thematic special issues on occasion, the topic and format of which are determined by the editorial team.

【译文】《儿童语言杂志》是该领域的重要出版物，发表的文章涉及儿童语言行为科学研究的各个方面、其背后的原理以及可能解释其的理论。国际范围的作者和广泛的报道范围使该杂志能够在许多不同的研究领域之间建立联系，包括心理学、语言学、认知科学和人类学。这种跨学科方法涵盖了广泛的兴趣：音韵学、语音学、形态学、句法、词汇、语义、语用学、社会语言学以及语言研究的任何其他公认的方面。当对儿童语言有明显影响时，可以考虑涉及阅读发展的研究。检验方法和/或干预措施的研究必须与儿童语言的理解具有明确的相关性，并做出实质性的经验或理论贡献。该期刊通常发表完整的实证研究或研究文章以及较短的简要研究报告，偶尔也会发表评论文章。为了适合本期刊，研究文章和简短研究报告应包括一些定量数据分析，基于案例研究的文章需要对此设计有令人信服的理由。期刊不定期出版专题特刊，其主题和格式由编辑团队确定。
