[Speech development in monosyllables of Chinese 3-years old children]
1Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430022, China.
Objective:
To investigate speech development in monosyllables of Chinese 3-year old children, to explore the difficulties of these words in these children, and to provide a reference for rehabilitation of deaf and dumb children.
Method:
Speech material consists of 245 monosyllables in high and flat tone. 71 children between the ages of 2 year and 9 months to 3 year and 3 months (average 3 years) were involved in this investigation by oral imitation test. Proportions correct of every word were statistically analyzed.
Result:
The proportions correct of these words ranged from 0.26 to 1.00 (median= 0.92). There are significant differences among proportions correct of those words (P <0.01).
Conclusion:
It should be considered that monosyllables are different in difficulty to Chinese 3 years old children by oral imitation test when selecting materials and criteria of speech test for rehabilitation of deaf and dumb children.
