摘要

几十年来,研究人员和临床医生一直对句子模仿与其他语言领域的联系感兴趣。句子模仿利用了工作记忆和语言能力。工作记忆是指回忆和操纵语言信息的能力,使句子模仿成为语言能力的临床标志。同时,关于双语语言对语句模仿应用的研究仍在不断涌现。本文报道了一项对在早期双语语言习得环境中长大的马耳他儿童的大样本研究。它分析了句子模仿任务、语言理解、叙事(故事复述)、语音意识和语音测试的两个指标之间的相关性:辅音正确率和不一致分数。数据收集自241名24至72个月大的儿童,他们是从公共出生登记册中随机选择的。所进行的子测验是测试组的一部分,即马耳他-英语言语评估(MESA)和马耳他儿童语言评估(LAMC)。计算句子模仿得分与特定语言子测验得分的相关性;发现了与实际年龄的显著相关性。回归分析表明,LAMC的句子模仿子测验对语言理解具有预测作用,对语音意识具有更强的预测作用。结果表明,在句子模仿任务中的表现是马耳他双语儿童语言能力的一个有效而可靠的指标。

The Association of Sentence Imitation with Other Language Domains in Bilingual Children
The association of sentence imitation with other language domains has been of interest to researchers and clinicians for decades. Sentence imitation taps both working memory and linguistic competence. Working memory refers to the ability to recall and manipulate linguistic information making sentence imitation a clinical marker for language ability. Meanwhile, research on the application of sentence imitation with bilingual language pairs is still emerging. This article reports a study on a large sample of Maltese children brought up in an early bilingual language acquisition context. It analyses correlations between a sentence imitation task, verbal comprehension, narrative (story retelling), phonological awareness, and two measures of a phonology test: percentage consonants correct and the inconsistency score. Data were collected from a total of 241 children, aged 24 to 72 months, who were selected randomly from the public birth register. The subtests administered were part of a test battery, namely, the Maltese–English Speech Assessment (MESA) and the Language Assessment for Maltese Children (LAMC). Correlations were calculated for the sentence imitation scores with specific language subtest scores; significant correlations were identified as well as with chronological age. Regression analysis indicated that the sentence imitation subtest of LAMC is a predictor for verbal comprehension and even stronger predictor for phonological awareness. It was concluded that performance on a sentence imitation task is a valid and reliable indication of Maltese bilingual children's language ability.
