アメリカ・インディアンの子供について童話を書いている作家が子供たちが両親のことを実際どう呼んでいるか調べたところ、
Here is the list of terms they contained: Amma/Appa, Ma/Dad, Amma/Dad, Mommy/Daddy, Mom/Dad, Mama/Papa, Mamma/Papa, Mummy/Papa, Ammi/Abba, Mama/Daddy, Mummy/Daddy, Mama/Dada, Amma/Dada, Mama/Baba, Mummy/Baba, Ammi/Papa, Aai/Baba, Amma/Nanna.
ところが、子供たちは状況で使い分けていることも判明。
Papa/Mamma when speaking to parents, Daddy/Mommy when speaking to others
Amma/Mommy interchangeably
Daddy when speaking to father, Appa while speaking to others (this was the reverse of the more commonly cited switches)
More than one woman wrote about children using Indian-language terms till preschool, but Mommy and Daddy after that. |
