Abstract

Aim: The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate two new retelling tasks intended for clinical use in terms of language sample size, effects of picture support, and order of presentation.

Methods: Forty Swedish-speaking children in grades 4-6 participated in the study, 31 children with typical language development (TLD, mean age 11;1), and nine children with developmental language disorder (DLD, mean age 11;5). Two oral retells, one with and one without picture support, were analyzed with regards to productivity, syntactic complexity, basic Story Grammar (SG) units, and Internal Responses (IR).

Results: Results showed no systematic order effects in the TLD group, although this needs to be investigated further, and good inter-rater reliability. Both tasks elicited sufficiently large language samples, except from one participant with DLD whose samples were excluded from subsequent comparisons. When appropriate, data were analyzed with ANOVA (productivity, mean length of C-unit/MLCU), otherwise t-tests (TLD-group) or non-parametric tests (DLD-group) were used. As expected, retells from participants with DLD were shorter, with shorter MLCU and fewer SG units compared to the TLD group. There were also task effects: in the task with picture support, all participants had longer MLCU, and participants with TLD also showed a higher proportion of subordinate clauses, indicating that pictures may function as a support for syntactic complexity. The task without picture support, on the other hand, elicited more C-units indicated by a significant main effect, and more SG units, which was a significant effect in the TLD group.

Conclusions: >We conclude that both tasks might be useful for Swedish speech-language pathologists.

瑞典学龄儿童的叙事复述——一项临床试点研究。

目的:本初步研究的目的是在语言样本量、图片支持效果和呈现顺序方面评估两种用于临床的新复述任务。方法:40名4-6年级瑞典语儿童，31名典型语言发育儿童(TLD，平均11岁)和9名发育性语言障碍儿童(DLD，平均11岁)参与研究。对两种口头复述，一种有图片支持，另一种没有图片支持，在生产力、句法复杂性、基本故事语法(SG)单位和内部反应(IR)方面进行了分析。结果:结果显示在TLD组中没有系统顺序效应，尽管这需要进一步研究，并且具有良好的评级间信度。两个任务都得到了足够大的语言样本，除了一个患有DLD的参与者，他的样本被排除在随后的比较之外。适当时，采用方差分析(生产率，C-unit/MLCU的平均长度)对数据进行分析，否则使用t检验(tld组)或非参数检验(dld组)。正如预期的那样，与TLD组相比，DLD参与者的复述时间更短，MLCU更短，SG单位更少。此外，还有任务效应:在有图片支持的任务中，所有参与者的MLCU都更长，有TLD的参与者的从句比例也更高，这表明图片可能对句法复杂性起到了支持作用。另一方面，没有图片支持的任务激发了更多的c单元，这表明主效应显著，并且更多的SG单元，这在TLD组中是显著的。结论:我们得出结论，这两项任务可能对瑞典语言病理学家有用。

期刊介绍： Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology is an amalgamation of the former journals Scandinavian Journal of Logopedics & Phoniatrics and VOICE. The intention is to cover topics related to speech, language and voice pathology as well as normal voice function in its different aspects. The Journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Phonation and laryngeal physiology Speech and language development Voice disorders Clinical measurements of speech, language and voice Professional voice including singing Bilingualism Cleft lip and palate Dyslexia Fluency disorders Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics Aphasia Motor speech disorders Voice rehabilitation of laryngectomees Augmentative and alternative communication Acoustics Dysphagia Publications may have the form of original articles, i.e. theoretical or methodological studies or empirical reports, of reviews of books and dissertations, as well as of short reports, of minor or ongoing studies or short notes, commenting on earlier published material. Submitted papers will be evaluated by referees with relevant expertise.
