本研究的重点是西班牙语特殊语言障碍(SLI)学龄前儿童对语法形态的使用。相对于同龄和年龄更小、平均话语长度相近的正常发育儿童,特殊语言障碍儿童对几种不同语法语素的使用更有限。这些限制在与名相关的语素上最为明显,如形容词一致的屈折和直接宾语的限制。在所有组中,孩子们的大多数错误都是由一种形式的替换构成的,这种形式与目标的大部分语法特征相同,但不是全部(例如,正确的时态和数字,但错误的人称)。数字错误通常涉及在复数语境中使用的单数形式;人称错误通常涉及在第一人称语境中使用的第三人称形式。特殊语言障碍儿童的局限模式表明,对于西班牙语等语言,在寻找这种疾病的临床标志时,可能必须考虑其他因素。对西班牙语儿童语言障碍的评估和治疗的意义也进行了讨论。
The focus of this study was the use of grammatical morphology by Spanish-speaking preschoolers with specific language impairment (SLI). Relative to both same-age peers and younger typically developing children with similar mean lengths of utterance (MLUs), the children with SLI showed more limited use of several different grammatical morphemes. These limitations were most marked for noun-related morphemes such as adjective-agreement inflections and direct object clitics. Most errors on the part of children in all groups consisted of substitutions of a form that shared most but not all of the target's grammatical features (e.g., correct tense and number but incorrect person). Number errors usually involved singular forms used in plural contexts; person errors usually involved third person forms used in first person contexts. The pattern of limitations of the children with SLI suggests that, for languages such as Spanish, additional factors might have to be considered in the search for clinical markers for this disorder. Implications for evaluation and treatment of language disorders in Spanish-speaking children are also discussed.
