The aim of this study was to identify whether different patterns of errors exist in irregular past-tense verbs in children who stutter (CWS) and children who do not stutter (CWNS).
Spontaneous language samples of thirty-one age- and gender-matched pairs of children (total N=62) between the ages of 24 months and 59 months were analyzed.
Results indicated that children who do and do not stutter over-regularize irregular past-tense verbs (i.e., saying runned for ran) with comparable frequency. However, two nonsignificant trends which suggest possible intra-group differences were noted. First, irregular past tense verbs represented a greater portion of total verbs for CWS than for CWNS. Second, CWS appeared to double-mark (i.e., say ranned for ran) more often than CWNS. Results are discussed in light of theories about the acquisition of the irregular past-tense and about differences in language skills between CWS and CWNS.
After reading this article, the reader will be able to: (a) summarize previous findings about connections between stuttering and language in CWS and CWNS; (b) describe similarities and differences between irregular past-tense verb use and errors in CWS and CWNS; (c) discuss possible connections between the declarative-procedural model and stuttering.
本研究旨在确定口吃儿童（CWS）和不口吃儿童（CWNS）在不规则过去式动词的错误模式上是否存在差异。
分析了 31 对年龄和性别匹配的儿童（共 62 名儿童）在 24 个月至 59 个月时的自然语言样本。
结果表明，口吃和不口吃的儿童以相似的频率过度规则化不规则过去式动词（即，说 runned 而不是 ran）。然而，有两个不显著的趋势表明可能存在组内差异。首先，不规则过去式动词在 CWS 中的总动词中所占比例大于 CWNS。其次，CWS 似乎比 CWNS 更频繁地双重标记（即，说 ranned 而不是 ran）。结果根据关于不规则过去式动词习得的理论以及 CWS 和 CWNS 之间语言技能差异的理论进行了讨论。
阅读本文后，读者将能够：（a）总结关于 CWS 和 CWNS 中口吃与语言之间联系的先前发现；（b）描述 CWS 和 CWNS 中不规则过去式动词使用和错误的相似点和不同点；（c）讨论陈述性程序性模型和口吃之间的可能联系。
