摘要

本研究探讨了5 - 6岁普通话儿童、正常发育儿童和发育性语言障碍儿童在平均话语长度(MLU)和五个最长话语平均长度(MLU5)上的差异。89名正常发育儿童和35名DLD儿童参加了这项研究。研究人员收集、转录并分析了这些孩子的语言样本。对MLU和MLU5进行组间分析比较。结果表明，6岁儿童的MLU和MLU5显著高于5岁儿童。此外，与正常发育的儿童相比，DLD儿童的两种MLU测量值都显着低于正常发育的儿童。研究结果表明，MLU和MLU5可用于评价5岁和6岁普通话儿童的语言能力和识别DLD儿童。

Mean length of utterance among Mandarin-speaking children with and without DLD

This study explored the differences in mean length of utterance (MLU) and mean length of the five longest utterances (MLU5) between 5–6-year-old Mandarin-speaking children, and between typically developing children and children with developmental language disorders (DLD). Eighty-nine typically developing children and 35 children with a DLD participated in this study. The researchers collected, transcribed, and analysed language samples from these children. MLU and MLU5 were analysed and compared between the groups. The results showed that MLU and MLU5 were significantly higher for 6-year-olds than 5-year-olds. Also, both MLU measures were significantly lower for children with DLD than for typically developing children. The findings demonstrate that MLU and MLU5 can be used to evaluate language ability and to identify children with DLD among Mandarin-speaking children aged 5 and 6 years.
