We studied spontaneous speech noun-phrase production in eight French-speaking children with SLI (aged 5 ; 0 to 5 ; 11) and controls matched on age (4 ; 10 to 5 ; 11) or MLU (aged 3 ; 2 to 4 ; 1). Results showed that children with SLI prefer simple DP structures to complex ones while producing more substitution and omission errors than controls. The three groups also showed distinct error patterns. Children with SLI appeared to have difficulty with phonological processes involved in liaison, elision, and contraction, whereas control children tended to make more lexical errors. These data support models of reduced morphosyntactic and syntactic abilities in this population, and suggest that morphophonological processes should also be integrated into descriptive models of SLI.
我们研究了 8 名患有语言发育迟缓的法语儿童（年龄为 5 岁 0 月至 5 岁 11 月）和在年龄（4 岁 10 月至 5 岁 11 月）或 MLU（3 岁 2 月至 4 岁 1 月）上与之匹配的对照组儿童的自发言语名词短语生成情况。结果表明，与对照组相比，患有 SLI 的儿童在生成名词短语时更喜欢简单的 DP 结构，而不是复杂的结构，且会产生更多的替代和省略错误。这三组还表现出不同的错误模式。患有 SLI 的儿童似乎在涉及联诵、省略和缩写的语音过程方面存在困难，而对照组的儿童则往往会犯更多的词汇错误。这些数据支持了该人群中形态句法和句法能力降低的模型，并表明形态音位过程也应纳入 SLI 的描述性模型中。
