The present study comprised an analysis and comparison of the language performance of educable mentally retarded and normal children at mental age levels six through 10 years. Both syntactic and functional performance variables were investigated. The results indicate language performance differences between the two groups with the primary discriminators being hesitation phenomena (false starts, filled pauses, and repeats) and clausal constructions (relative and subordinate clauses), resulting in a higher sentence elaboration level for normal children.
本研究对智力可教育的智障儿童和正常儿童在6至10岁心理年龄水平上的语言表现进行了分析和比较。研究调查了句法和功能表现变量。结果表明,两组之间存在语言表现差异,主要的判别因素是犹豫现象(起始错误、填充停顿和重复)和从句结构(关系从句和从属从句),这使得正常儿童的句子精细程度更高。
