The use of early verbal categories, their event types, and the emergence of verbal inflections (-ing, -s, and -ed) were analyzed in data from four participants with motor speech disorders aged 9;5-13;9 (years;months) who used speech-generating devices to converse with a familiar adult. The study was conducted through a secondary analysis of a corpus of data collected as part of another study. It documents the production of verbs and the emergence of verb inflections in natural conversations between each of the participants and a member of their educational team over a period of up to 10 months. All participants used both action and state verbs, although action verbs were dominant. The emergence of the inflections -ing, -s, and -ed varied and were distributed selectively with different verb categories and event types. The results are discussed in terms of language development and are considered in terms of the findings from research with children without disabilities, which suggest that action verbs precede state verbs, and inflections are primarily acquired based on their correspondence to the verbal category (action-state). Implications for theory, practice, and further research are discussed.
本文分析了四名患有运动性言语障碍的 9 岁 5 个月至 13 岁 9 个月的参与者的数据，他们使用言语生成设备与熟悉的成年人进行交流。该研究是通过对另一项研究中收集的数据进行二次分析进行的，记录了每个参与者在长达 10 个月的时间内与教育团队成员进行的自然对话中动词的产生和动词屈折形式的出现。所有参与者都使用了动作动词和状态动词，但动作动词占主导地位。屈折形式-ing、-s 和-ed 的出现是不同的，并且与不同的动词类别和事件类型选择性分布。结果从语言发展的角度进行了讨论，并从与无残疾儿童的研究结果进行了考虑，这些结果表明动作动词先于状态动词，并且屈折形式主要是根据它们与动词类别（动作-状态）的对应关系来习得的。讨论了理论、实践和进一步研究的意义。
