Some individuals face severe challenges with producing oral language (i.e., speech). In this article a case study of a child who experienced severe challenges with speech development is presented. Medical records, historical home videos, audio recordings, and photographs, in conjunction with an extensive journal maintained by the child's mother provide the basis for this report, which profiles the child's development from birth to age 8;0. This child's development demonstrates the necessity of distinguishing between language-the mental representation of concepts and their relations-and speech-one means for communicating mental representations.
一些人在口语(即言语)表达方面面临严峻挑战。本文呈现了一个在言语发展中遭遇严重挑战的儿童的案例研究。医疗记录、家庭历史录像、录音和照片,再加上孩子母亲所写的一本内容丰富的日记,为这份报告提供了依据,该报告描绘了这个孩子从出生到8岁的发展历程。这个孩子的发展表明了区分语言(概念及其关系的心理表征)和言语(传达心理表征的一种方式)的必要性。
