Compreensão de sentenças em crianças com desenvolvimento normal de linguagem e com distúrbio específico de linguagem

Assessment of Morphosyntactic Development in European Portuguese-Speaking Children

“…These data are consistent with prior studies that have shown a systematic performance increase by age on a variety of morphosyntactic measures for mainstream students [39]. According to Puglisi [27], who studied Brazilian Portuguese-speaking children aged between 4 years and 6 years and 11 months, the children's performance in sentence comprehension tasks (e.g., identification of word canonical order and number morphology) improves with age.…”

“…Several authors agree that the performance of children belonging to higher SES groups is superior to that of children belonging to lower SES groups for different measures of the morphosyntactic domain [27,28,30]. Our data failed to show differences between children from affluent backgrounds and those from deprived backgrounds.…”

“…Most researchers who investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and language development of children seem to be in agreement with regard to differences in their performance [25], which are related to different styles of language input and parenting behaviors [26]. A study carried out in Brazilian and English children aged 4-6 years revealed that those raised in a lower SES environment showed more difficulties in identifying the number of morphemes in multiple tasks [27]. Analyzing spontaneous speech samples of preschool-aged children, it was found that children from privileged families of high SES started using sentences with more than one word before children from underprivileged families [28].…”

Impacto do distúrbio específico de linguagem e do tipo de escola nos diferentes subsistemas da linguagem

“…For each sentence, there was always one target and three foils that represented morphological errors (number morpheme), syntactic errors (word order) or morphosyntactic errors (number morpheme and word order). For more information on the material, see Puglisi (29) .…”

“…No individuals from this group were diagnosed with auditory, psychiatric and/or severe emotional disorders. For more information on the sample, see Puglisi (29) .…”
