This study investigates the use of subject-verb agreement and verb argument structure in the spoken Dutch of monolingual Dutch children with specific language impairment (SLI) and bilingual Frisian-Dutch children with SLI. Both SLI groups appeared to be less efficient in their use of subject-verb agreement and verb argument structure than the control group (consisting of monolingual typically developing Dutch children matched on mean length of utterance in morphemes) in that they showed significantly more agreement errors as well as a relation between verb agreement structure complexity and omission, a relation that the typically developing children failed to show. Furthermore, no significant differences were found between the monolingual and the bilingual SLI group. These findings indicate that subject-verb agreement and verb argument structure are both affected in SLI, but not more severely in bilinguals than in monolinguals.
本研究调查了患有特定语言障碍（SLI）的荷兰单语儿童以及患有SLI的弗里斯兰-荷兰双语儿童在荷兰语口语中对主谓一致和动词论元结构的运用。与对照组（由在词素平均语句长度上匹配的荷兰语单语发育正常儿童组成）相比，两个SLI组在主谓一致和动词论元结构的运用上似乎效率较低，因为他们表现出明显更多的一致错误，以及动词一致结构复杂性与省略之间的关系，而发育正常的儿童并未表现出这种关系。此外，单语SLI组和双语SLI组之间未发现显著差异。这些发现表明，主谓一致和动词论元结构在SLI中均受到影响，但双语者受到的影响并不比单语者更严重。
