目的本研究旨在探讨双语儿童英语和西班牙语形态句法标准化分数随时间的变化。方法对100名双语儿童进行纵向研究。研究开始时，这些孩子的平均年龄是5岁；11日(年,月)。一部分参与者被确定为患有发展性语言障碍的儿童（DLD,n= 43）。在两年的时间里，孩子们在三个时间点用西班牙语和英语完成了行为测试。纵向数据分析采用生长曲线模型。结果观察到不同的西班牙语和英语语言增长模式。随着时间的推移，两组学生英语的平均标准分数都有所提高，而西班牙语的平均分数则有所下降。与同龄人相比，患有DLD的儿童在西班牙语和英语方面表现出持续的语言困难。结论：本研究的结果为双语儿童的语言能力从西班牙语向英语的转变提供了证据，无论有无语言障碍。本研究还表明，与非语言障碍儿童相比，患有语言障碍的双语儿童在形态句法技能方面表现出持续而平行的增长。补充Materialhttps: / / doi.org/10.23641/asha.23671464
PurposeThis study aimed to examine changes in English and Spanish morphosyntactic standardized scores over time in bilingual children.MethodOne hundred bilingual children participated in this longitudinal study. The average age of the children at the beginning of the study was 5;11 (years;months). A subset of the participants was identified as children with developmental language disorder (DLD,n= 43). Children completed behavioral testing in Spanish and English at three time points over a period of 2 years. Growth curve modeling was employed to analyze longitudinal data.ResultsDistinct patterns of Spanish and English language growth were observed. While the average standard score in English increased, the average score in Spanish decreased over time for both groups. Children with DLD showed persistent language difficulties in both Spanish and English over time in comparison to their peers.ConclusionsThe results of this study provide evidence of a shift in language proficiency from Spanish to English for bilingual children with and without language disorders. This study also shows that bilingual children with DLD show a protracted but parallel growth in morphosyntactic skills in comparison to children without DLD.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.23671464
