This article examines speech and language impairment in relation to several common childhood psychiatric disorders. Similarities among disorders can be found in the associated language impairments, family histories, and certain language outcomes. The article describes prevalence surveys of speech and language disorders and the correlates of language impairment, such as IQ, socioeconomic status, and birth order. The association between language impairment and childhood psychiatric disorders (i.e., hyperactivity, autism) is investigated, and the outcomes of language impairment are discussed. Finally, the hypothesis that a common underlying neurolinguistic diathesis may be present for certain subgroups of psychiatrically disordered children is presented. In some groups, psychiatric disorder (i.e., hyperactivity) and linguistic impairment may develop in parallel as a function of an underlying neurodevelopmental immaturity. The relation between the linguistic impairment and neurodevelopmental immaturity requires clarification so as to disentangle their specific associations with the various disorders discussed.
本文探讨了与几种常见儿童精神疾病相关的言语和语言障碍。在相关的语言障碍、家族病史和某些语言结果中可以发现这些疾病之间的相似之处。本文描述了言语和语言障碍的患病率调查以及语言障碍的相关因素，如智商、社会经济地位和出生顺序。研究了语言障碍与儿童精神疾病（如多动症、自闭症）之间的关联，并讨论了语言障碍的结果。最后，提出了一种假设，即某些患有精神疾病的儿童亚组可能存在共同的潜在神经语言学素质。在一些群体中，精神疾病（如多动症）和语言障碍可能作为潜在神经发育不成熟的一种表现而同时出现。语言障碍与神经发育不成熟之间的关系需要澄清，以便理清它们与所讨论的各种疾病的具体关联。
