Blackwell Publishers; Malden, MA: Furthermore, identical utterances were excluded, even if occurring at different locations in the transcript. We split all samples into a first and a second half of 50 sentences each, and compared both halves to each other in order to examine the intra-individual reliability. As a result, our samples include sentences consisting of only one morpheme, for example a simple noun. Mean Length of Utterance in children with Specific Language Impairment and in younger control children shows concurrent validity and stable and parallel growth trajectories.

In fact, it is not clear whether sentences give a sufficient sample size.

This reflects the developmental tendency to progress from simple sentences with finite verbs and particles to complex sentence constructions using conjunctions and complex noun phrases. We therefore want to explore the reliability of sentence samples for DSSJ.

This method of combining samples from different children, however, is based on the assumption that the children of an age group obtain a similar DSS score, which is not necessarily the case. While taking a sentence sample for DSSJ might require time and effort considered too excessive to be practical in clinical assessment, the more detailed dssi provided by DSSJ will be beneficial for research on the characteristics of different types of children including children with language disorders.

The only other child coming close to her performance was the 5;2 year-old Child dsxj This procedure is repeated for 50 sentences. Only one child scored higher than average in all subareas but one.

Developmental Sentence Scoring for Japanese (DSSJ)

Development of a developmental index of Japanese and its application to speech developmental disorders. Nevertheless, using play-dough during child-adult conversation might not be the ideal speech elicitation method for older children.

Kiyoshi Otomo, Tokyo Gakugei University. It is obvious that this distinction is not applicable to a null-argument language. Hatsuwa sampuru kara hattatsu hyooka dekiru ka [Is it possible to evaluate development from speech samples?

We like to thank all the participating children and their parents. If we disregard the possibility of DSSJ leveling off at this early level, what prevented our 5;2 year-olds to perform better than our 4;8 year-olds? In order to test DSSJ, we analyzed dxsj speech samples from children between 2;8 and 5;2.

Journal of Educational Systems and Technologies. Finestack and Abbeduto sampled narratives from their adolescent participants with Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. How reliable is this resulting Japanese version of DSS? Morpho-syntactic essj in the spoken language of older children and adolescents.

Developmental Sentence Scoring for Japanese (DSSJ)

Language and communication disorders in children. For DSS we compiled a specific Japanese library file dssrulesjp. Index of Productive Syntax.

Future research should investigate the reliability of samples larger than sentences in combination with different elicitation methods. As a result, our samples include sentences consisting of only one morpheme, for example a simple noun. Play-dough is a preferred toy of kindergarten children, and most children over three years old like to play with it because of its formability, colorfulness, and creative usage.

They found that open-ended questions yielded higher DSS scores than picture tasks and also higher than data obtained from unstructured wireless telemetry recordings. Hattatsu Shoogai Kenkyujo; Kasugai, Japan: After a warming up book-reading session, the trained interviewers engaged each child in dough-play and elicited about utterances. Therefore, many high-scoring children appeared to be advanced especially in the areas of basic syntax and sentence conjunction, although the individual pattern differed from child to child.

In addition, individual children showed differential performance across subareas. When adapting DSS to Japanese we faced the following problems. MiiPro - ArikaM Corpus.
