本文旨在从功能语言学的角度探讨普适性发展障碍(PDD)受试者自发言语中的语用失误。比较了亚斯伯格综合征(AS)、高功能自闭症(HFA)和有各种非特定社会问题的精神科门诊对照(OPC)受试者的语调使用模式。笔录和录音被用来测量各种语调类型相对于产生的语音量的比率。这项研究的主要发现是,与AS或OPC组相比,HFA受试者更少使用有用的语调模式进行交流。这表明,HFA要么向听话者发送随机语调信号,要么显示出对语言系统的系统性滥用。因为受试者与对照组差别不大。本文还讨论了这些结果对理解PDD受试者交际失误的意义。
The objective of this paper was to employ a functional linguistic approach to explore pragmatic failure in the spontaneous speech of subjects with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). Patterns of intonation use were compared among subjects with Asperger's syndrome (AS), high‐functioning autism (HFA), and psychiatric out‐patient controls (OPC) with a variety of non‐specific social problems. Written transcripts and audio‐recordings were used to measure rates of various intonation types relative to the amount of speech produced. The major finding of the study was that the HFA subjects less often tend to employ useful patterns of intonation for communication than the AS or OPC groups. This suggests that HFA either send random intonation signals to hearers or else demonstrate systematic misuse of the linguistic system. AS subjects differed little from the controls. The implications of these results for understanding the communicative failure of PDD subjects is discussed.
