Down Sindromedun haurren hizkuntzen garapena: 2 urteko neska elebidun baten kasu azterketa

Abstract

Kasu azkerketa honen bitartez, 2 urteko neska elebidun baten gaitasun linguistikoa aztertu da; aldebatetik, zein etapa komunikatibotan dagoen jakiteko eta, bestetik, bere emaitzak literatura-berrikuspenetik ateratako informazioarekin alderatzeko. Ikerketa hau burutzeko erabilitakometodologia CDI-Down inbentarioa izan da. Emaitzek adierazi dute neska horrek, adin mental berekogarapen tipikoko haurrekin alderatuta, zailtasunak dauzkala ahozko produkzioan eta ulermen lexikoeta morfosintaktikoan. Keinu bidezko komunikazioan eta elkarreragin sozialetan, aldiz, erraztasunakerakutsi ditu. Ikerketa honetako ondoriorik nagusiena subjektuaren elebiduntasunak bere hizkuntzeneskurapen prozesuan eragin handia daukala izan da.

The linguistic competence of a 2-year-old bilingual child was assessed in order to determine thelinguistic stage she was currently at, as well as to compare her results with the information gatheredfrom an extensive literary review. The methodology used to carry this study out was an inventorywhich is known as CDI-Down. The results showed that this girl presented more difficulties in areassuch as speech production, lexical comprehension and morphosyntax, whereas social interactions andsome aspects of gestural use proved to be areas of strength for her. It was concluded that a possibleexplanation for these results could be the fact that she is simultaneously exposed to both Spanish andBasque.
