Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate whether age plays a role in the acquisition of construct state (CS) constructions in Arabic by 14 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It also examined the challenges faced by children with ASD in producing different types of CS constructions. Finally, the study analysed the sources of difficulties children with ASD encounter during the learning process of the CS.Design/methodology/approachFor the purposes of this study, the participants were asked to orally complete short sentences with the help of illustrative pictures.FindingsResults revealed that the age of the 14 children with ASD plays a role in the acquisition of CS constructions. Children of age 12–15 performed better than those of age 8 and 10. Results also showed that children with ASD performed better in producing phrases rather than compounds. Moreover, the participants performed better on endocentric compounds as opposed to exocentric ones. Finally, analysing the errors produced on the text revealed that the acquisition of head direction precedes definiteness.Originality/valueThe topic of the study has not been investigated yet and the study concluded with some important findings concerning teaching Arabic CS to children with ADS.

阿拉伯语自闭症儿童阿拉伯语构念状态构念的习得

目的研究年龄是否在14名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童习得阿拉伯语结构状态（CS）结构中起作用。它还研究了ASD儿童在产生不同类型的CS结构方面所面临的挑战。最后，该研究分析了自闭症谱系障碍儿童在CS学习过程中遇到的困难来源。设计/方法/方法为了本研究的目的，参与者被要求在插图的帮助下口头完成短句。结果显示，14名ASD儿童的年龄在CS结构的获得中起着一定的作用。12-15岁的儿童比8岁和10岁的儿童表现更好。研究结果还表明，自闭症谱系障碍儿童在产生短语方面比产生化合物表现更好。此外，与外核化合物相比，参与者在内核化合物上表现更好。最后，通过对文本中产生的错误的分析，揭示了头部方向的获取先于确定性。原创性/价值该研究的主题尚未调查，该研究得出了一些关于向患有ADS的儿童教授阿拉伯语CS的重要发现。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
