目的熟练掌握复杂语法对于语言和阅读理解非常重要，在幼儿开始使用两个单词组合后不久，复杂语法的产生就开始出现。对于使用口语的听力损失学龄前儿童的复杂语法生成的探索很少。本研究的目的是将患有听力损失的 4 岁儿童与年龄匹配、语言匹配且听力正常的同龄人的复杂句法产生进行比较。方法 72 名儿童完成了语言评估组，包括结构化语言样本。比较了三组的复杂语法密度以及特定类型复杂语法产生的数量和准确性：4 岁听力损失儿童、年龄匹配的听力正常儿童组和平均话语长度 (MLU) 匹配的听力正常儿童组。结果与年龄匹配但语言不匹配的同龄人相比，听力损失儿童的复杂语法密度较低，并列从句、从句和简单不定式的正确产生较少。此外，听力损失儿童在简单不定式上的准确度低于年龄匹配组，在完整命题补语和主语关系从句上的准确度也低于年龄匹配组和 MLU 匹配组。 结论 与同龄同龄人相比，听力损失儿童在复杂句法习得方面表现出延迟，与 MLU 匹配的年幼儿童相比，在某些复杂结构上的发展受到干扰。素材https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.14080193
PurposeProficiency with complex syntax is important for language and reading comprehension, and production of complex syntax begins to emerge shortly after a young child begins using two-word combinations. Complex syntax production in preschool children with hearing loss who use spoken language has been explored minimally. The purpose of this study was to compare complex syntax production of 4-year-old children with hearing loss to age-matched and language-matched peers with normal hearing.MethodSeventy-two children completed a language assessment battery, including a structured language sample. Complex syntax density and number and accuracy of productions of particular types of complex syntax were compared across three groups: 4-year-old children with hearing loss, an age-matched group of children with normal hearing, and an mean length of utterance (MLU)–matched group of children with normal hearing.ResultsChildren with hearing loss had lower complex syntax density and fewer correct productions of coordinated clauses, subordinate clauses, and simple infinitives than their age-matched, but not language-matched, peers. Furthermore, children with hearing loss had lower accuracy than the age-matched group on simple infinitives and lower accuracy than both the age- and MLU-matched groups on full propositional complements and subject relative clauses.ConclusionChildren with hearing loss exhibit delays in complex syntax acquisition as compared to their same-age peers and disruptions in development on some complex structures as compared to MLU-matched, younger children.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.14080193
