摘要 目的:本研究探讨了与单语同龄人相比,双语输入对双语儿童语法发展的影响。方法:从 3 岁 (n = 56) 和 5 岁 (n = 83) 发育正常的双语和单语学前儿童中收集英语和法语的自发语言样本。在每个年龄组中,儿童的双语接触模式各不相同,但在年龄、非语言认知、母亲教育和语言状况方面相匹配,讲两种主要语言。衡量指标包括单词和语素的平均话语长度 (MLU),以及形态使用的准确性和多样性。结果:每种语言的语法发展都受到同语言经验量的强烈影响。接触两种语言的儿童在两种语言中的得分与单语儿童相当,而接触不平等的儿童在不同语言中的表现也表现出类似的不平等,并且在较弱语言中的得分显着低于单语儿童。因此,两种语言的得分显着低于单语者可能是语言障碍的迹象。每种语言都遵循强烈的语言特定的习得和错误模式序列。接触英语较少的五岁儿童表现出可选的不定式模式,这是单语英语儿童主要语言障碍的一个强有力的临床标志。结论:提供了描述性规范数据,可以更准确地解释双语评估数据。
Abstract Purpose: The study examined the effect of bilingual input on the grammatical development of bilingual children in comparison to monolingual peers. Method: Spontaneous language samples were collected in English and French from typically-developing bilingual and monolingual pre-schoolers aged 3 years (n = 56) and 5 years (n = 83). Within each age group, children varied in bilingual exposure patterns but were matched on age, non-verbal cognition, maternal education and language status, speaking two majority languages. Measures included mean length of utterance (MLU) in words and morphemes, and accuracy and diversity of morphological use. Result: Grammatical development in each language was strongly influenced by amount of same-language experience. Children with equal exposure to both languages scored comparably to monolingual children in both languages, whereas children with unequal exposure evidenced similarly unequal performance across languages and scored significantly lower than monolinguals in their weaker language. Scoring significantly lower than monolinguals in both languages may, therefore, be a sign of language impairment. Each language followed a strongly language-specific sequence of acquisition and error patterns. Five-year-old children with low exposure to English displayed an optional infinitive pattern, a strong clinical marker for Primary Language Impairment in monolingual English-speaking children. Conclusion: Descriptive normative data are presented that permit more accurate interpretation of bilingual assessment data.
