One of the linguistic features of people with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is found in the use of different types of morphology. People with DLD have serious difficulties in the use of grammatical morphology, and some studies suggest that this factor could constitute a clinical marker of the disorder. The goal of this research was to discover the distinctive characteristics of the different morphological subareas in people with DLD.
The sample consisted of 90 children and adolescents between 6 and 15 years old, of which 47 were diagnosed with DLD and the remaining 43 were in the Typical Development (TD) group. The two groups were matched in chronological age. The assessment instrument used was the morphology scale of the BLOC-C test, which includes 19 different subareas of morphology, among which are inflectional and verbal morphology.
The results have shown that people with DLD perform at a lower level than the TD group in all morphology subareas, as well as in the mean and percentile obtained.
These data have led us to explore explanations based on several hypotheses and to confirm the research outlining the explicit morphological difficulties in people with DLD.
发育性语言障碍(DLD)患者的语言特征之一体现在不同类型形态学的运用上。DLD患者在语法形态学的运用上存在严重困难,一些研究表明这一因素可能构成该障碍的临床标志。本研究的目的是发现DLD患者不同形态学子领域的独特特征。
样本包括90名6至15岁的儿童和青少年,其中47名被诊断为DLD,其余43名属于典型发育(TD)组。两组在实足年龄上相匹配。所使用的评估工具是BLOC-C测试的形态学量表,其中包括19个不同的形态学子领域,包括屈折形态学和动词形态学。
结果表明,DLD患者在所有形态学子领域以及所获得的平均分和百分位数方面的表现均低于TD组。
这些数据促使我们基于多种假设进行解释,并证实了这项概述DLD患者明确形态学困难的研究。
