Research data show that exposure to abuse and neglect has detrimental effects on a child's language development. In this meta-analysis, we analyze studies (k = 23), to compare the language skills (receptive language, expressive language, pragmatics) of children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect with the language skills of children who have not experienced abuse and/or neglect and to examine whether age or type of maltreatment moderate the relationship between maltreatment and language skills. Results confirm that the language skills of children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect are delayed when compared to children who have not experienced abuse and/or neglect. Compared to older children, young children seem particularly vulnerable to abuse and neglect. No significant differences were demonstrated concerning the type of maltreatment suffered by the child. These findings support the necessity of early detection of language problems in abused and neglected children as well as early intervention in order to implement interventions that will positively stimulate their development.
研究数据表明，遭受虐待和忽视会对儿童的语言发展产生不利影响。在这项荟萃分析中，我们分析了23项研究，以比较经历过虐待和/或忽视的儿童与未经历过虐待和/或忽视的儿童的语言技能（接受性语言、表达性语言、语用学），并研究年龄或虐待类型是否会调节虐待与语言技能之间的关系。结果证实，与未经历过虐待和/或忽视的儿童相比，经历过虐待和/或忽视的儿童的语言技能发展滞后。与年龄较大的儿童相比，幼儿似乎特别容易受到虐待和忽视。在儿童遭受的虐待类型方面未显示出显著差异。这些发现支持了对受虐待和被忽视儿童早期发现语言问题以及进行早期干预的必要性，以便实施能够积极促进其发展的干预措施。
