Abstract(s)
Este estudo tem como principal objectivo analisar a compreensão e a produção de frases
relativas de sujeito e de objecto em crianças com défice auditivo (DA) e em crianças
com desenvolvimento típico.
O grupo de controlo foi formado por 6 crianças com desenvolvimento típico, falantes
nativos do português europeu, com idades compreendidas entre os 7;6 e os 10;00 anos.
O grupo experimental é composto por 6 crianças com deficiência auditiva congénita em
ambos os ouvidos, com idades compreendidas entre os 7;4 e os 10;10 anos O grau de
surdez varia entre severo a profundo e todas as crianças são filhas de pais ouvintes e
falantes nativos do português europeu. Todas as crianças deste grupo apresentam
acompanhamento em terapia da fala.
Para testar a compreensão e a produção das frases relativas foram utilizados testes
adaptados por Costa, Lobo, Silva e Ferreira (2008), a partir dos testes desenvolvidos por
Namma Friedmann e Rama Novogrodsky. A compreensão de orações relativas de
sujeito e de objecto foi testada através de um Teste de Identificação de Imagens. Para
testar a produção de relativas de sujeito e de objecto foi aplicado um Teste de
Preferência.
Os resultados do Teste de Identificação de Imagens sugerem uma assimetria entre as
relativas de sujeito e de objecto em ambos os grupos, com pior desempenho nas
relativas de objecto. Neste teste os resultados obtidos pelo grupo de controlo foram
sempre superiores aos resultados do grupo com DA. Os resultados do Teste de
Preferência sugerem uma assimetria entre as relativas de sujeito e de objecto em ambos
os grupos, com pior desempenho na formação de relativas de objecto. Ambos os grupos,
quando não conseguem formar relativas, optam por vias alternativas para a formação de
frases gramaticais, todavia as crianças com DA apresentam maior percentagem de frases
agramaticais, com maior recurso à formação de cópias do sintagma nominal.
As assimetrias encontradas são robustas devido à análise qualitativa realizada a cada
resposta desviante produzida pelo grupo com DA. Este tipo de análise é a única forma
de se encontrar a origem das dificuldades que as crianças com DA revelam.
Estes dados, de uma forma geral, mostram que as crianças com deficiência auditiva
apresentam uma dificuldade generalizada com estruturas sintácticas com dependência
A-barra, situação já verificada com surdos de outras línguas. De igual momodo, parece
existir uma forte correlação entre a intervenção precoce, grau de surdez e a aquisição da
sintaxe.
Abstract:The main goal of this study is the analysis of the comprehension and production of relative clauses of subject and object by children with Hearing Impairment (HI), and by children with typical development. The control group was formed by 6 children with typical development, native speakers of European Portuguese , with ages between 7;6 and 10;0 years old. The experimental group is composed by 6 children with hearing impairment in both ears, with ages between 7;4 and 10;10 years old. They have moderate to profound hearing loss and all the children have European Portuguese native speaking parents. All children of this group attend speech-language therapy. To test the comprehension and the production of relative sentences tests adapted by Costa, Lobo,Silva e Ferreira(2008) were used, from tests developed by Namma Friedmann and Rama Novogrodsky. The comprehension of subject and object relative clauses was tested through one Sentence-Picture Matching Task. To test the production of subject and objective relative clauses a preference task was applied. The results of the Sentence-Picture Matching Task suggest one asymmetry between subject and object in both groups, with worst performance in the object condition. In this test the results gathered by the control group were always superior to the results of the group with HI. The results of the Preference Task suggest one asymmetry between subject and object relatives in both groups, with worst performance in the production of object relatives. Both groups, when failing to form relative clauses, opt for alternative ways to form the grammatical sentences, although all the children with HI present a bigger percentage of ungrammatical sentences, with a higher production of structures in which a copy of the relative head is pronounced The asymmetries found are robust due to the qualitative analyses done in each deviant answer produced by the group with HI. This type of analyses is the only way of finding the source of the difficulties that children with HI reveal. This data, in a general way, show that children with HI have a generalized difficulty with syntactic structures with A-bar dependency, as this situation has already been verified with deaf people from other languages. In the same way, there seems to exist a strong correlation between early intervention, deaf degree and the syntactic acquisition.
