Early Bilingual Vocabulary Development Among Low-SES Ethnic Minority Learners in China:The Case of Uyghur and Kazak Children

Vocabulary knowledge is one of the most important aspects of language development. For bilingual students, early vocabulary development often predicts their future bilingual success. This paper examines early bilingual receptive vocabulary knowledge of ethnic minority children(N=135) from two large ethnic language communities(Uyghur and Kazak) in three national-level povertystricken counties in Xinjiang, China. The children’s bilingual vocabulary knowledge was assessed using translated versions of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-IV(PPTV-IV) in Putonghua(PTH) and their mother tongue(MT) Uyghur or Kazak. Data were analyzed through four General Linear Models(GLM). The analyses showed that both groups scored higher in MT vocabulary knowledge than that in their PTH, although the Kazak students’ MT vocabulary scores were lower than those of the Uyghurs. While gender, age, L1, or residence location were not significant factors in differences across the two groups in PTH, among the Kazak children, the main effect of age was significant in MT;and among Uyghur children, residence location had a significant effect. The two groups also differed in patterns of acquisition in different parts of speech(nouns, verbs, and attributes) with Uyghur children performing strongest in MT and PTH verbs. The findings have important implications for ensuring the quality of early bilingual education among impoverished Chinese minority communities.

学术杂志与学术共同体

首先,热烈祝贺《当代修辞学》创刊40周年!祝贺第十三届“望道修辞学论坛”学术研讨会圆满召开。语言学研究的对象是语言,把语言学作为研究对象的是“语言学学”。语言学学可以把一切影响语言研究的因素纳入研究视野,例如:1)语言学理论、语言学思想、语言研究方法与方法论、语言研究技术;2)语言学史、语言学人物、语言学组织、语言学流派、语言运动、语言学批评;3)语言学杂志(期刊、报纸公众号等)与著作出版;4)语言学学科设置、实验室或研究室设立、语言工程建设、项目与基金、学科评价、学科投入、学术荣誉等语言学科建设问题;5)语言学教材、学位、就业、社会岗位等语言学人才培养问题;6)语言学会、协会;7)语言学社会教育、社会语言测试等;8)语言博览会、语言产品交易会等。“语言学学”说出来拗口,但是有此意识十分重要,可以把语言学界过去不大关心不大研究的问题正视起来,正如科学学对科学的发展意义重大一样。
