A Development of Language assisted by Onomatopoeia of the children with down's Syndrome

Kamizono（1988）发现唐氏综合症的儿童通过使用拟声词来提高沟通能力。然后，我们分析了唐氏综合症儿童在自由游戏情境中的拟声词，以探讨他们在交流中有效使用拟声词的原因和认知背景。研究结果如下：1.语音方面：1）唐氏综合征患儿能较容易地发出拟声音。因为拟声词的声音和冒泡的声音很相似。2)拟声词容易记忆，拟声词的模仿也容易进行。因为拟声词的音系结构是音位的重复和冗余.语义方面：1）拟声词的音义之间存在着一种压缩关系。因此，人们可以直接地理解声音的含义。即使是抽象能力较弱的唐氏综合症儿童也能很容易地理解拟声词的含义。2 ...更多信息 （1）唐氏综合症儿童由于具有上述拟声的特点，能够通过自己的声音传播出一个意义的世界。语用方面：1）唐氏综合症儿童的拟声词多为“拟交际”。也就是说永远不要执行相互让步的意图根据这个结果。唐氏综合症患儿可能会使用拟声词来保持与他人的关系。2)亲密的人（前。母亲老师负责。等等）。理解唐氏综合症儿童发出的声音的指涉。而其他人则无法理解所指对象。这一结果可能表明，唐氏综合征儿童的沟通改变，由于人类关系。3)交际情境中的拟声词具有情境局限性。因此，唐氏综合症儿童的沟通能力得到了提高。利用语义和特征的制约，沟通的情况。基于以上研究结果，我们正在探讨拟声拟声术辅助言语治疗的方案。少

Kamizono(1988)found that the children with Down's syndrome increased communication ability by using onomatopoeia. Then, we analyzed the onomatopoeia of the children with Down's syndrome in free play situation to investigate the reason and cognitive background of effective usage of onomatopoeia in their communication. The results are follows.1. Phonological aspects : 1)the children with Down's syndrome can articulate onomatopoeia easily. because onomatopoeia's sounds are similar to bubbling sounds. 2)Onomatopoeia can be easily retained in memory and vocal imitation of onomatopoeia can be performed easily. because the phonological structure of onomatopoeia are the duplir-ated phonemes and redundant.2. Semantic aspects : 1)There is a contractive relationship between the sounds and meaning in onomatopoeia. therefore. one can directively access the meaning of the sound. Even the children with Down's syndrome who have week abstract ability can easily comprehend the meaning of onomatopoeia. 2 … More )The children with Down's syndrome can spread out a world of the meaning by their own vocal sound, because of the characteristics of onomatopoeia above mentioned(1).3. Pragmatic aspects : 1)Most onomatopoeias by the children with Down's syndrome are what is called "psudo-communication". which means to be never carried out the give-and-take of intentions. According to this result. the children with Down's syndrome may use onomatopoeia to keep the relation to other people. 2)Intimate persons(ex. mother. teacher in charge. etc.)comprehended the referent of the vocal sounds uttered by the children with Down's syndrome. but other people can not comprehend the referent. This result may suggest that communication in children with Down's syndrome changes due to human relation. 3)Onomatopoeia in communication situation has a situation-bounded characteristic. Therefore, the children with Down' syndrome improve the communication skill. by taking advantage of the constraint of meanings and the characteristics. of communication situation. We are investigating the program of speech therapy with the help of onomatopoeia based on the above findings. Less
