This study examined the syntactic abilities of neurologically normal and suspect preterm children at preschool age to characterize their language skills and to assess specific differences between groups. The Index of Productive Syntax was used to score language transcripts. The children exhibited reduced syntactic performance, particularly in the use of questions, negatives, and complex sentence structure. Children considered to be neurologically suspect had more difficulty with development of verb phrases than did neurologically normal children.
本研究考察了神经发育正常和疑似早产的学龄前儿童的句法能力,以描述他们的语言技能,并评估两组之间的具体差异。使用句法产出指数对语言记录进行评分。这些儿童的句法表现有所下降,尤其是在疑问句、否定句和复杂句子结构的使用方面。被认为神经发育可疑的儿童在动词短语的发展方面比神经发育正常的儿童有更多困难。
