Cím: The Crosslinguistic Study
of Children
with Specific Language Impairment
Absztrakt:
Children with specific language
impairment (SLI) show a significant
deficit in their language ability but appear to be functioning normally
in
other areas. Their hearing is normal, they earn age-appropriate scores
on
nonverbal tests of intelligence, they do not show symptoms
characteristic of autism,
and they exhibit no clear signs of neurological impairment. Children
with SLI
who are acquiring English often experience a mild to moderate deficit
in
vocabulary and sentence length but a more serious deficit in the use of
grammatical morphology (e.g., saying /Mommy like eat ice cream /instead
of
/Mommy like*s to *eat ice cream/). The purpose of this presentation is
to show
that a clear understanding of this profile, or other profiles of SLI,
requires
careful study of SLI across languages. Examples will be presented of
very
different symptoms of SLI depending on the type of language (e.g.,
English,
Swedish, Italian, Cantonese) being acquired. Implications for language
treatment will also be discussed.
