Abstract

Jedno od glavnih obilježja Downova sindroma je zakašnjeli i netipičan govorno-jezični razvoj, a govorno-jezične poteškoće manifestiraju se čitav život. Osim toga, kasnije usvajaju gramatiku u usporedbi sa svojim vršnjacima urednoga razvoja. Teškoće na razini govorne proizvodnje manifestiraju se prvenstveno u morfosintaktičkom oblikovanju, a anatomsko-fiziološke karakteristike utječu na artikulaciju. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je istražiti neka obilježja spontanoga govora osoba s Downovim sindromom, kao i sposobnost ponavljanja rečenica različitih struktura i morfosintaktičke složenosti. Osnovna hipoteza je da će osobe s Downovim sindromom imati poteškoća na morfosintaktičkoj i artikulacijskoj razini oblikovanja iskaza. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo pet osoba s Downovim sindromom u dobi od 17 do 29 godina. Njihovi zadaci bili su prepričati svoj dan i opisati zadanu sliku, čime je dobiven spontani govor, te ponoviti rečenice različite sintaktičke strukture koje su prethodno čuli. Govor ispitanika zabilježen je audio-snimačem. U prikupljenim govornim uzorcima analizirale su se sljedeće kategorije: vrsta izgovornih poremećaja, vrsta riječi i vrsta sintaktičkih pogrešaka. Analiza je potvrdila postavljenu hipotezu kao i rezultate prethodnih istraživanja, prema kojima osobe s Downovim sindromom imaju gramatičke i artikulacijske poteškoće. Izrazi su osoba s Downovim sindromom kratki te izostavljaju tzv. gramatičke riječi, a imaju poteškoća gramatički ispravno ponoviti rečenice složenije sintaktičke strukture.

Abstract (english)

One of the main features of Down syndrome is the delayed and atypical speech language development. Difficulties manifest primarily in morpho-syntactic formulation, while anatomical and physiological characteristics affect articulation. The aim of this study was to investigate certain characteristics of spontaneous speech, as well as the ability to repeat sentences of different structures and morpho-syntactic complexity. The basic hypothesis is that people with Down syndrome will have difficulty at the morpho-syntactic and articulatory level of utterance formation. Five people with Down syndrome between the ages of 17 and 29 participated in the study. Their tasks were to recount their day and describe a given image, which resulted in spontaneous speech, and to repeat the sentences containing different syntactic structures they had previously heard. Participants' speech was recorded by an audio recorder. The following categories were analyzed in the collected speech samples: type of pronunciation disorders, word class and type of syntactic errors. The analysis confirmed the hypothesis. Persons with Down syndrome have grammatical and articulatory difficulties. The utterances of a person with Down Syndrome are short and omit grammatical words, and they have difficulty repeating sentences of more complex syntactic structure in a gramatically correct manner.
