This study analyzed the complex sentences used by Mandarin-speaking preschool children with typical development (TD) and developmental language disorder (DLD) and explored the types of complex sentences that children with DLD have difficulty using in speech. The participants were 67 children (41 TD and 26 DLD) between the ages of 3 and 5 years. They were divided into six groups based on biological age and performance on the Revised Language Disorder Scale for Preschool Children: TD three-, four-, and five-year-olds, and DLD three-, four-, and five-year-olds. Language samples were elicited through one-on-one interactions in four specified contexts: family conversation, school conversation, free play, and story retelling. A total of 100 valid utterances were selected for the annotation and analysis of 15 complex sentence types. The frequency of use and proportion of users for each sentence type were calculated. Significant differences in the frequency of use and proportion of users were subsequently compared between the TD and DLD groups for each age level. Differences were particularly observed for successive complex sentences and cause-effect complex sentences in the 3-year-old group and complement clauses in the 5-year-old group. These findings suggest that children with DLD experience greater difficulties acquiring and using these specific complex sentence structures in their spoken language than typically developing peers.

本研究分析了典型发展性语言障碍（TD）和发展性语言障碍（DLD）学龄前普通话儿童的复合句使用情况，探讨了DLD儿童言语使用困难的复合句类型。参与者是67名3 - 5岁的儿童（41名TD和26名DLD）。他们根据生理年龄和学前儿童语言障碍修订量表的表现分为六组：三、四、五岁的TD和三、四、五岁的DLD。语言样本是通过在四种特定的情境中进行一对一的互动得来的：家庭对话、学校对话、自由游戏和故事复述。选取100个有效话语对15种复句类型进行标注和分析。计算每个句子类型的使用频率和用户比例。随后比较了TD组和DLD组在每个年龄水平上的使用频率和用户比例的显著差异。3岁组的连续复句和因果复句和5岁组的补语从句的差异尤其明显。这些发现表明，与正常发育的同龄人相比，患有DLD的儿童在口语中习得和使用这些特定的复杂句子结构方面遇到了更大的困难。

Introduction

Effective communication in aging is supported by both narrative and pragmatic abilities, which are known to undergo declines in healthy older adults. Traditional language assessments may overlook these changes, especially in multimodal and ecologically valid communicative contexts. This study investigates the structure and interplay of narrative and pragmatic abilities in aging by integrating multilevel discourse analysis and the Assessment Battery for Communication (ABaCo).

Methods

Forty-four healthy Italian-speaking old adults aged 65 to 86 years took part in the study. Participants completed a narrative production task based on visual stimuli, analyzed through multilevel discourse analysis to extract measures of productivity, informativeness, and coherence. Pragmatic production was assessed using the ABaCo battery. Two separate Principal Component Analyses (PCAs) identified latent components in narrative and pragmatic domains. Pearson correlations assessed interrelations between these components.

Results

Narrative analysis revealed two components: “Narrative Information Organization Difficulties” (coherence errors, lexical informativeness) and “Narrative Productivity” (word fluency, word count). ABaCo subscales loaded onto a single component, “Communicative-pragmatic efficiency in production”. A significant negative correlation was found between narrative organization difficulties and pragmatic efficiency (r = –.469, p = .001), while no significant correlation emerged between narrative productivity and pragmatic efficiency.

Discussion

Findings support a partially overlapping structure between narrative and pragmatic competence in aging. Pragmatic efficiency relates specifically to lexical informativeness and coherence, rather than raw verbal productivity. This distinction highlights the clinical relevance of multimodal and integrative assessments, such as ABaCo, in identifying early communicative decline. Joint assessment of narrative and pragmatic dimensions offers a comprehensive approach to profiling communicative functioning in aging.

导读：老年人有效的沟通是由叙事和语用能力支持的，这两种能力在健康的老年人中都有所下降。传统的语言评估可能会忽略这些变化，特别是在多模态和生态有效的交际环境中。本研究采用多层次语篇分析和ABaCo （Assessment Battery for Communication）相结合的方法，探讨老年人叙事能力和语用能力的结构及其相互作用。方法：44名65 - 86岁的健康意大利语老年人参加了这项研究。参与者完成了一项基于视觉刺激的叙事制作任务，通过多层次话语分析来提取生产力、信息量和连贯性的衡量标准。实际生产评估使用ABaCo电池。两个独立的主成分分析（pca）确定了叙事和语用领域的潜在成分。Pearson相关性评估了这些成分之间的相互关系。结果：叙事分析揭示了两个组成部分：“叙事信息组织困难”（连贯错误、词汇信息性）和“叙事效率”（用词流畅性、字数）。ABaCo子量表加载到单个组件上，“生产中的沟通-实用效率”。叙事组织困难与语用效率呈显著负相关（r = - 0.469, p = .001），而叙事生产力与语用效率无显著相关。讨论：研究结果支持老龄化中叙事能力和语用能力之间部分重叠的结构。语用效率主要与词汇的信息量和连贯性有关，而不是单纯的语言生产力。这一区别突出了多模式和综合评估（如ABaCo）在识别早期沟通能力下降方面的临床相关性。叙述和语用维度的联合评估提供了一种全面的方法来分析老年人的交际功能。

The recognition of basic affective prosody in children with autism spectrum condition (ASC) was investigated using a three-level meta-analysis. The analysis focused on emotional dimensions—namely, the three core attributes of emotion (arousal, valence, and dominance)—as well as experimental factors such as chronological age, sample size, stimulus presentation (stimuli with pure prosody or neutral semantic content), and semantic presentation (words and sentences). We examined how these features influenced affective prosody recognition in children with ASC. The meta-analysis comprised 16 empirical studies. A random effect model revealed a small but significant effect size (Hedges’ g = -0.277). Egger's test and fail-safe N indicated an absence of publication bias. Heterogeneity analysis revealed a significant between-study variability, and no significant within-study heterogeneity was detected. Age, stimulus presentation and semantic presentation method did not significantly account for the observed between-study heterogeneity. However, significant group differences between ASC and typically developing (TD) children emerged when the semantic content was presented in a sentence form. Moreover, valence was a significant moderator. The difference between ASC and TD children was greater for positive-valence than negative-valence emotional expressions. Additionally, group differences were more pronounced for emotional expressions characterized by high arousal and high dominance. Furthermore, children with ASC exhibited greater difficulty recognizing affective prosody embedded in semantically complex contexts. In basic affective prosody recognition, children with ASC appear particularly sensitive to emotional valence. This finding is consistent across cultures. Moreover, the results of the meta-analysis were discussed in relation to the impacts of cue integration, information overload, impaired social cognition, abnormal neural system activation, and the development and accumulation of social experiences on children with ASC.

采用三水平荟萃分析研究了自闭症谱系障碍儿童对基本情感韵律的识别。分析的重点是情绪维度——即情绪的三个核心属性（唤起、效价和支配）——以及实验因素，如实足年龄、样本量、刺激呈现（具有纯韵律或中性语义内容的刺激）和语义呈现（单词和句子）。我们研究了这些特征如何影响ASC儿童的情感韵律识别。meta分析包括16项实证研究。随机效应模型显示了较小但显著的效应大小（Hedges' g = -0.277）。Egger的检验和故障保护N表明没有发表偏倚。异质性分析显示研究间存在显著的变异性，研究内未发现显著的异质性。年龄、刺激呈现和语义呈现方法对观察到的研究间异质性没有显著影响。然而，当语义内容以句子形式呈现时，ASC和正常发育（TD）儿童之间出现了显著的组差异。此外，效价是显著的调节因子。ASC和TD患儿的正效价情绪表达差异大于负效价情绪表达差异。此外，在以高唤醒和高支配性为特征的情绪表达上，组间差异更为明显。此外，患有ASC的儿童在识别语义复杂语境中的情感韵律方面表现出更大的困难。在基本情感韵律识别方面，ASC患儿对情绪效价表现出特别的敏感。这一发现在各种文化中都是一致的。此外，本文还讨论了线索整合、信息超载、社会认知障碍、神经系统异常激活、社会经验发展和积累等因素对孤独症儿童的影响。

Purpose

Stuttering concealment is a common but understudied experience with important implications for research, clinical practice, and the lives of people who stutter. This study presents a comprehensive conceptual model by defining stuttering concealment, categorizing its many forms, and examining its underlying motivations and consequences.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 adults who stutter in the United States. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we identified patterns in how participants described and enacted concealment.

Results

Concealment is a dynamic, context-dependent process that extends beyond simply hiding moments of stuttering. Participants described two interconnected levels of concealment: minimizing overt characteristics of stuttering and shaping whether others perceive them as a person who stutters. We identified five categories of concealment behaviors: linguistic, speaking mechanics, pragmatic, self-presentation, and situational. Motivations for concealment included accessing communication opportunities, maintaining social norms, and self-protection. Participants reported psychological and social consequences that were predominantly negative (e.g., shame, disconnection), though a few described incidental positives, such as increased creativity and emotional maturity.

Conclusion

This study offers an integrated conceptual model that links the forms, motivations, and consequences of stuttering concealment. It challenges rigid covert-overt distinctions by illustrating concealment as a fluid and socially responsive process shaped by identity, context, and interpersonal dynamics. These insights have implications for assessment and intervention, including the need for clinicians to explore concealment sensitively and recognize its emotional and social impacts. Therapy can support clients in examining when and why they conceal, and in setting individualized goals related to openness in communication and self-presentation.

目的：隐瞒口吃是一种常见但尚未充分研究的经历，对研究、临床实践和口吃者的生活具有重要意义。本研究提出了一个全面的概念模型，通过定义口吃隐藏，分类其多种形式，并检查其潜在的动机和后果。方法：对美国30名口吃成人进行半结构化访谈。使用反身性主题分析，我们确定了参与者如何描述和实施隐藏的模式。结果：隐藏是一个动态的，依赖于上下文的过程，不仅仅是隐藏口吃的时刻。参与者描述了两个相互关联的隐藏水平：最小化口吃的明显特征，以及塑造别人是否认为他们是口吃者。我们确定了五类隐藏行为：语言、说话机制、语用、自我表现和情境。隐藏的动机包括获取交流机会、维护社会规范和自我保护。参与者报告的心理和社会后果主要是负面的（例如，羞耻，断开），尽管少数人描述了偶然的积极影响，例如创造力和情感成熟度的提高。结论：本研究提供了一个完整的概念模型，将口吃隐瞒的形式、动机和后果联系起来。它通过将隐藏描述为一个由身份、环境和人际动态形成的流动和社会响应过程，挑战了严格的隐蔽-公开区分。这些见解对评估和干预具有启示意义，包括临床医生需要敏感地探索隐藏并认识到其情感和社会影响。治疗可以帮助客户检查他们隐藏的时间和原因，并设定与沟通和自我表现的开放性相关的个性化目标。

Introduction

Narrative language, Theory of Mind (ToM), and contextual inferencing are subcomponents of social communication that is a vulnerable area in autism. However, few studies have explored the connection between different aspects of social communication.

Methods

This study assessed autistic (n = 14, mean age 7;2 years) and control children’s (n = 26, mean age 6;9 years) narrative productions in two conditions (story retelling and story generation), and explored their associations to socio-pragmatic inferencing (contextual inferencing with ToM demands and false belief reasoning).

Results

There were no significant differences between the autistic and control children’s narratives, but within-group differences were detected. Autistic children showed similar performance across two different narrative conditions, but control children differed in the amount of expressed story content, mental state language and non-narrator speech between the tasks. Narrative production and socio-pragmatic inferencing were connected, but these skills are related differently in the autistic and control children.

Conclusions

The connections between different components of social communication are most likely multidimensional and complex. However, as there are some associations between the skills, also narrative intervention might support socio-pragmatic inferencing or vice versa. It is important to gain a deeper understanding of the complex nature of social communication and its various aspects to support possible challenges that individuals may face while navigating in a social world.

简介：叙事性语言、心理理论（ToM）和语境推理是社会沟通的组成部分，是自闭症患者的弱势领域。然而，很少有研究探讨社会交际的不同方面之间的联系。方法：本研究评估自闭症儿童（n = 14，平均年龄7岁；2岁）和正常儿童（n = 26，平均年龄6岁；9岁）在两种情况下（故事复述和故事生成）的叙事生产，并探讨其与社会语用推理（ToM要求语境推理和错误信念推理）的关系。结果：自闭症儿童与正常儿童的叙事差异无统计学意义，但组内存在差异。自闭症儿童在两种不同的叙述条件下表现相似，但对照组儿童在表达故事内容的数量、精神状态语言和非叙述者语言方面存在差异。叙事生成和社会语用推理是相互关联的，但这些技能在自闭症儿童和正常儿童中的关联不同。结论：社会交际的不同组成部分之间的联系很可能是多维的和复杂的。然而，由于这些技能之间存在一些关联，叙事干预也可能支持社会实用主义推理，反之亦然。重要的是要深入了解社会沟通的复杂性及其各个方面，以支持个人在社交世界中导航时可能面临的挑战。

Purpose

Dimensions of identity such as race and gender critically influence how people who stutter navigate their lives; however, there is a dearth of research concerning the lived experiences of people with marginalized racial and gender identities who stutter. The present study was designed to explore the lived experiences of Black women who stutter to elucidate the interconnectedness of race and gender within the stuttering experience.

Method

Two 90-minute semi-structured focus groups were conducted with 10 Black women who stutter ranging in age from 26 to 51 years. Interview transcripts were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis grounded in an intersectional theoretical framework.

Results

Three superordinate themes were constructed: (1) Navigating systems of oppression; (2) self-care as an act of resistance, and (3) healing through community. Each superordinate theme included one to three subthemes. The experiences reported across themes reflected the intricacies of participants’ navigation of their racialized, gendered, and (dis)ability identities.

Conclusions

The present study highlights the individual and collective impact of the intersection of race and gender on the lived experiences of persons who stutter. Although additional research is needed to promote responsive practices, preliminary findings underscore the importance of self-care and community in facilitating resilience and psychosocial well-being for Black women who stutter.

目的：种族和性别等身份维度严重影响口吃者的生活方式；然而，缺乏关于具有边缘种族和性别身份的口吃者的生活经历的研究。本研究旨在探讨黑人女性口吃的生活经历，以阐明种族和性别在口吃经历中的相互联系。方法对10名年龄在26 ~ 51岁的黑人口吃女性进行两次90分钟的半结构化焦点小组调查。访谈记录分析使用反身性专题分析，以交叉理论框架为基础。结果构建了三个上级主题：(1)压迫导航系统；(2)自我保健作为一种抵抗行为；(3)通过社区治疗。每个主主题包括一到三个子主题。跨主题报告的经历反映了参与者对其种族化、性别化和（残疾）能力身份的导航的复杂性。结论本研究强调了种族和性别交叉对口吃者生活经历的个人和集体影响。虽然需要进一步的研究来促进反应性做法，但初步研究结果强调了自我保健和社区在促进黑人口吃妇女的复原力和心理社会健康方面的重要性。

Pragmatic language, which includes expressions of non-literal meaning, is crucial for social cognition, yet current assessment techniques are inadequate for the neurotypical population. This study was designed to develop and validate a sarcasm recognition task, a domain of pragmatic language, in a sample of 84 healthy adults. The task was specifically created for Spanish-speakers, highlighting its cultural and linguistic relevance.

In experiment 1, forty original vignettes containing sarcastic or literal content were evaluated by 49 subjects to select reliable stimuli, resulting in a subset with high reliability. In experiment 2, the new task and a neuropsychological screening battery were administered to 35 healthy adults. Cronbach's alpha was used to analyze reliability, and correlation indices with gold standard social cognition tests were computed.

Experiment 1 yielded 40 reliable stimuli (Cronbach's Alpha: 0.818), which constituted the final version of the task. These same 40 items were administered in Experiment 2, where the task demonstrated significant correlations with established social cognition tests. The findings indicate that the novel sarcasm recognition task is brief (40 total items), reliable and robust, without ceiling effects on the neurotypical population, and its design will allow for evaluation in parallel with fMRI scans.

语用语言，包括非字面意义的表达，对社会认知至关重要，但目前的评估技术对神经典型人群是不够的。本研究的目的是开发和验证讽刺识别任务，语用语言的一个领域，在84个健康成年人的样本。这项任务是专门为说西班牙语的人设计的，突出了它在文化和语言上的相关性。在实验1中，49名被试对40个包含讽刺或文字内容的原始小短文进行评估，以选择可靠的刺激，得到一个高信度的子集。在实验2中，新任务和神经心理学筛选组对35名健康成年人进行了测试。采用Cronbach’s alpha进行信度分析，并计算与金标准社会认知测验的相关指标。实验1产生了40个可靠的刺激（Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.818），构成了任务的最终版本。同样的40个项目在实验2中进行，其中的任务显示出与既定社会认知测试的显著相关性。研究结果表明，新的讽刺识别任务简短（总共40个项目），可靠且稳健，对神经正常人群没有天花板效应，其设计将允许与fMRI扫描并行评估。

Introduction

Children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) exhibit speech production deficits beyond segmental errors, including atypical coarticulation. Broadly, children with speech sound disorders (SSD) also exhibit weaknesses in speech perception, which may directly relate to specific production difficulties. This study examined differences in categorical perception among children with CAS, residual SSD affecting /ɹ/ (rSSD), and typical speech (TD). We hypothesized that children with CAS would demonstrate weaker performance on a task requiring perception of coarticulatory cues—a defining weakness in their speech production—but perform similarly to rSSD peers on a segmental task.

Methods

This study was designed as an exploratory pilot project, embedded in the baseline assessment of a series of speech treatment studies. Participants included 96 children (ages 8;0–15;11), 44 CAS, 39 rSSD, and 13 TD. In the segmental perception task, participants judged stimuli from a 5-step /al/ - /aɹ/ continuum. In the second task, /al/ and /aɹ/ endpoints were prefixed to a 5-step /ga/-/da/ continuum, creating /al/ (/alga/ - /alda/) and /aɹ/ (/aɹga/ - /aɹda/) conditions. Compensation for coarticulation was assessed at an ambiguous step, where listeners were expected to perceive /g/ after /al/ or /d/ after /aɹ/.

Results & Conclusions

Compensation for coarticulation was significantly weaker among children with CAS, who also demonstrated less reliable perception of /ga/ - /da/ endpoints and segmental perception weaknesses on the /al/ - /aɹ/ task not seen in rSSD or TD. Findings contribute an initial characterization of perceptual compensation for coarticulation in children with CAS. Results highlight performance differences based on underlying SSD subtype and may be clinically useful for future development of diagnostic tools that bypass verbal output limitations.

儿童言语失用症（CAS）表现出语言生产缺陷，超出了片段错误，包括非典型的协同发音。从广义上讲，患有语音障碍（SSD）的儿童也表现出语言感知方面的弱点，这可能与特定的生产困难直接相关。本研究考察了CAS患儿的分类知觉、影响/ r / /的残余SSD （rSSD）和典型言语（TD）的差异。我们假设，患有CAS的儿童在需要感知协同发音线索的任务中表现较差，这是他们言语生产中的一个明显弱点，但在分段任务中表现与非ssd的同龄人相似。方法：本研究被设计为探索性试点项目，嵌入在一系列言语治疗研究的基线评估中。参与者包括96名儿童（8岁、0-15岁、11岁）、44名CAS儿童、39名rSSD儿童和13名TD儿童。在片段感知任务中，参与者从一个5步/al/ - /a / r /连续体中判断刺激。在第二个任务中，/al/和/a / r /端点被前缀为一个5步/ga/-/da/连续体，创建/al/ (/alga/ -/ alda/)和/a / r / (/a / r ga/-/ a/ r da/)条件。对协同发音的补偿在一个模棱两可的步骤中进行评估，在这个步骤中，听众被期望在/al/之后感知/g/或/a / /之后感知/d/。结果和结论：CAS儿童的协同发音补偿明显较弱，他们也表现出对/ga/ - /da/终点的可靠感知较差，在/al/ - /a / /任务上的节段感知弱点在rSSD或TD中没有见过。研究结果有助于初步表征感知补偿协同发音的儿童CAS。结果强调了基于底层SSD亚型的性能差异，可能对未来开发绕过口头输出限制的诊断工具有临床意义。

Personality traits significantly influence health career trajectories, clinical performance, and burnout vulnerability. However, limited research has explored personality traits among speech-language pathologists (SLP), particularly across professional development stages. This study compared certified SLPs, Communication Disorders students, and a comparison group from the general population, examining differences in personality dimensions and the relationship between clinical experience and personality among SLPs. A total of 359 participants completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory, assessing Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Certified SLPs also completed a professional background questionnaire. MANOVA revealed significant group differences across all five personality traits, with SLPs scoring higher on each dimension. Neuroticism and Agreeableness had the largest effect sizes, with SLPs characterized by profoundly elevated Neuroticism and Agreeableness. Among SLPs, Neuroticism levels varied with experience, peaking among those with 5–16 years of practice and declining in those with >16 years. SLP students exhibited higher Neuroticism and lower Agreeableness compared to the comparison group participants. SLPs demonstrate a distinct personality profile marked by elevated Neuroticism and Agreeableness, aligning with the previously described Compassionately Reactive Style—defined by emotional sensitivity, concern for others, and a strong helping drive. While supportive of relational care, this emotional style may also heighten the risk of emotional exhaustion without appropriate support. Neuroticism tends to rise during mid-career stages and decline later. These findings highlight important considerations for promoting emotional well-being among SLPs throughout their careers

人格特质显著影响健康职业轨迹、临床表现和倦怠脆弱性。然而，关于语言病理学家（SLP）的人格特征的研究有限，特别是跨专业发展阶段的研究。本研究比较了认证的语言障碍学生、沟通障碍学生和普通人群的对照组，探讨了语言障碍学生在人格维度上的差异以及临床经历与人格之间的关系。共有359名参与者完成了NEO五因素量表，评估神经质、外向性、开放性、宜人性和尽责性。获得认证的slp还完成了一份专业背景问卷。方差分析显示，在所有五种人格特征上，群体差异显著，slp在每个维度上的得分都更高。神经质和宜人性的效应量最大，slp的特征是神经质和宜人性的显著升高。在slp中，神经质水平随经验的不同而不同，在5-16年的工作经验中达到顶峰，在10 -16年的工作经验中下降。与对照组相比，SLP学生表现出较高的神经质和较低的宜人性。slp表现出一种独特的性格特征，其特点是神经质和随和，与之前描述的同情反应型一致——由情感敏感性、对他人的关心和强烈的帮助驱动来定义。虽然支持关系护理，但这种情感方式也可能增加没有适当支持的情感衰竭的风险。神经质倾向于在职业生涯中期上升，随后下降。这些发现强调了在整个职业生涯中促进slp情绪健康的重要考虑因素。

Introduction

The main goal of this qualitative study was to explore how language and societal narratives shape the experiences of adults who stutter in Poland, specifically the impact of stigma and ableism on self-perception, relationships, and well-being.

Methods

Using purposive sampling, 20 Polish-speaking adults who stutter, aged 19–58, were interviewed through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis.

Results

Four key themes were generated in Reflexive Thematic Analysis: Social reactions to stuttering; Individual experiences of stuttering; Supportive and unsupportive interventions; Different paths: acceptance versus denial. The results highlight the role of stigma, self-esteem, and language in shaping the experience of people who stutter.

Conclusion

The study emphasizes the need for inclusive environments, empathetic responses, and therapies that address emotional and social aspects beyond speech fluency. By highlighting the role of language in shaping these experiences, the study indicates the need for (societal) change to foster greater acceptance and inclusion. Promoting inclusive language can also help challenge ableism and reduce self-stigmatization.

引言：本定性研究的主要目的是探讨语言和社会叙事如何塑造波兰口吃成年人的经历，特别是耻辱和残疾歧视对自我认知、人际关系和幸福感的影响。方法：采用有目的抽样的方法，对20名19 ~ 58岁的波兰语口吃成人进行深度半结构化访谈。数据分析采用自反性主题分析。结果：反身性主题分析产生了四个关键主题：口吃的社会反应；口吃的个人经历；支持性和非支持性干预；不同的路径：接受或拒绝。研究结果强调了耻辱、自尊和语言在塑造口吃者经历中的作用。结论：该研究强调需要包容的环境、移情反应和治疗，以解决语言流利之外的情感和社会方面的问题。通过强调语言在塑造这些经历中的作用，该研究表明需要（社会）变革来促进更大的接受和包容。提倡包容性语言也有助于挑战残疾歧视，减少自我污名化。
