  1. The Association of Phonological Disorders and Syntactic Disorders- A Study of Mandarin-speaking Children 音韻障礙與句法障礙的關連性研究 指導老師:張顯達 研 究 生:許馨仁 台灣大學語言學研究所

  2. Developmental Phonological Disorders • Definition -those who have phonological problems but without evident causal origins such as speech problems secondary to mental retardation or cleft palate, yet their speech is often hard to understand (Grunwell 1991).

  3. Phonological Disorders • “Specific phonological disorders” (Grunwell 1991) • Coexistence of impairments in phonology and other aspects of language such as syntax and morphosyntax (e.g. Faircloth & Faircloth 1970; Leonard 2000)

  4. Association-1 • Faircloth & Faircloth (1970); Panagos & Prelock (1982) • Spontaneous speech • Production errors: sentences > isolated words • control complexity in phonology and syntax • More errors when processing demands increased

  5. Association-2 • Merino (1983) • Morphosyntactic deficits often co-occur with impaired phonology • Leonard (1989) • phonetic feature: short duration & unstressed syllable

  6. Association-3 • Bishop (1997) • causal relationship • source: receptive side of phonological impairments

  7. Figure1 Schematic Representation of the Processing Components (Levelt 1993)

  8. Research Questions • Q1: Do children with phonological disorders differ from those with phonologic-syntactic disorders in their phonology? • Q2:What dimension of phonological capacity or tests could best distinguish the two groups? • Q3: What syntactic problems are prone to co-exist with phonological problems in Mandarin?

  9. Phonological Disordered Subjects • Children with phonological disorders • 34 children from three hospitals • Age range: 5; 0~6;11 • With developmental phonological disorders • Language ability • Preschool Language Disorders Test (Lin & Lin 1993) & Language Disorder Test for School Ages • Cutting point: the 10th percentile

  10. Normally Developing Controls • Normally developing controls • 31 children from four kindergartens • age-matched group • younger group • Language ability • Preschool Language Disorders Test (Lin & Lin 1993) & Language Disorder Test for School Ages • Cutting point: the 10th percentile

  11. PPVT-R & MLU • PPVT-R • LZY (5th)and GWZ (9th) • MLU

  16. Set 1 Language ability 1. Picture Naming Task Phonemic inventory 2. New Word Imitation Task & New Word Discrimination Task Imitation and discrimination of minimal word pairs Tasks on Phonological capacity-1

  17. Picture Naming Task • Show • Ask 這是什麼?

  18. Picture Naming Task: Scoring • 33 pictures for 42 target phonemes • 8 tokens (4 in word-initial and 4 in word-medial position) for each target sound were collected • One point was given for each target sound when 6 correct production out of eight were found • Maximal=42

  19. Group N Mean Scores (total=42) NL6 NL5 PD PSD 16 41.00 (1.21) 15 38.86 (2.09) 20 32.85 (5.09) 14 29.64 (5.31) Picture Naming Task: Results Table 2 Mean scores in the Picture Naming Task • NL6=NL5 > PD=PSD

  20. Variability-1 • Multiple mismatches • e.g. /d/ (incorrect realization) /t/ /k/ (incorrect realization) /f/ (incorrect realization) (Grunwell 1981; Zhu & Dodd 2000)

  21. Variability-2 • Alternation between a correct target and an error production was not included • e.g. /t/ (correct realization) /t/ /k/ (incorrect realization)

  22. Word-based Variability • Word-based variability(Zhu & Dodd 2000) • e.g: /pingguo//bingguo/, /bingduo/ • Total=33 • One point was given for each word when more than two types of error production of a word was found

  23. Phoneme-based Variability • Phoneme-based variability • e.g: /t//d/, /k/ • Total=42 • One point was given for each phoneme when more than two types of error production of a phoneme was found

  24. Variability Rating:Results • Word-based variability • No significant difference was found between the PD group and the PSD group • Phoneme-based variability • PD < PSD • PSD group at a more holistic stage

  25. Set 1 Language ability 1. Picture Naming Task Phonemic inventory 2. New Word Imitation & New Word Discrimination Task Imitation and discrimination of minimal word pairs Tasks on Phonological capacity-2

  26. dingding New Word Imitation & Discrimination • Show • Imitation: 4 tokens for each word • Discrimination: 4 times for each pair bingbing

  27. New Word Imitation & Discrimination:Scoring • Total= 8 sets of minimal word pairs • One point was given when 75% of correctness was reached • Maximal=8 • Only syllable initial consonants were taken into account in the Imitation task

  28. Group Number of Subjects Mean Scores in Set (total=8) NL6 16 7.06 (1.38) NL5 15 5.80 (1.52) PD 20 4.05 (1.35) PSD 14 3.86 (2.17) New word Imitation: Results • NL6=NL5> PD=PSD Table 3 Mean Scores in the New Word Imitation Task

  31. Summary • Picture Naming Task • NL6=NL5 > PD=PSD • New word Imitation & Discrimination • Imitation: NL6=NL5 > PD=PSD • Discrimination: NL6>NL5= PD=PSD • Higher variability • PSD: general phonological system • Difference profile • PD: motor level of articulation

  32. Set 2 Language Ability 1. Word Span Task Memory capacity with lexical supports 2. Nonword Repetition Task Phonological memory capacity (without lexical supports) Tasks on Memory Capacity-1

  33. Word Span Task • Recalling of spoken word lists ranged from two to seven words • e.g. 獅子、青蛙、斑馬、小熊 • Six items were prepared for each length level • When three correct repetitions out of six were reached, move to the next length level

  34. Word Span Task: Results • NL6= PD = NL5 > PSD Figure 4 Results in the Word Span Task

  35. Set 2 Language Ability 1. Word Span Task Memory capacity with lexical supports 2. Nonword Repetition Task Phonological memory capacity (without lexical supports) Tasks on Memory Capacity-2

  36. Nonword Repetition Task • Thirty-six nonwords, six in a set, were repeated. • e.g. Examiner: bai3-sha 4 kang1-gu4 zhan4-dao1 • One point was given for each correct syllable • Maximal=36

  37. Group N Mean Scores (total=36) Correctness (%) NL6 16 18.56 (5.50) 51.55% NL5 15 14.26 (4.62) 39.61% PD 20 12.45 (5.09) 34.58% PSD 14 8.78 (4.26) 24.38% Nonword Repetition Task: Results Table 5 Mean Scores in the Nonword Repetition Task • NL6> PD=PSD

  38. Comparison of the Two Tasks • Better lexical supports in the PD group • PD=PSD in nonword repetition task • PD>PSD in the word span task • Two possibilities • smaller lexical pool • less efficient lexical access
