Abstract

A speech processing model based on a psycholinguistic approach can identify the specific speech processing deficits of children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) through various pathways. In most cases, the cause of the speech problem with SSD children is unknown, so it is important to identify the underlying strengths and weaknesses for individualized intervention. In addition, because the native language deficits can also affect foreign language production, it is necessary to examine speech processing abilities between the two languages. This study is a preliminary study to develop a Korean-English speech processing task system. Speech production task and speech processing task (DT, PRT, NRT) were conducted both in Korean and English on 10 children with SSD and 20 normal children (NSA). As a result, the SSD group showed significantly lower production ability than the NSA group in both languages. As a result of the speech processing task, there was no significant difference in the discrimination task (DT), while there was a significant difference between language types in the phonological representation task (PRT) and between language types and groups in the nonword repetition task (NRT). The results of this study confirmed that children's native language and foreign language processing skills may be different, and that the sub-tasks of speech processing system should be further subdivided.

심리언어학적 접근에 기반한 말처리 모델은 다양한 경로를 통해 말소리장애아동의 구체적인 말처리 결함을 한눈에 파악할 수 있는 모델이다. 말소리장애아동이 보이는 말산출 결함은 원인을 알 수 없는 경우가 대부분이기 때문에 개별화된 중재를 위해서는 기저의 강약점을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 또한 말소리장애 아동의 모국어 결함은 외국어 산출에도 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 모국어와 외국어라는 두 언어 간 말처리 능력을 함께 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 한국어-영어 말처리 평가시스템 개발을 위한 예비연구로, 말소리장애아동(SSD) 10명과 일반아동(NSA) 20명을 대상으로 말산출 과제와 말처리 과제(변별, 음운표상판단, 비단어따라말하기)를 한국어와 영어로 각각 실시하여 언어종류에 따른 집단 간 비교를 시도하였다. 연구 결과, SSD 집단은 두 언어에서 모두 NSA 집단에 비해 유의하게 낮은 산출능력을 보였다. 말처리 과제 결과, 변별과제에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않은 반면, 음운표상판단과제의 경우 언어 종류 간, 비단어따라말하기과제의 경우 언어종류와 집단 간에서도 그 차이가 유의하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 아동의 모국어와 외국어 처리능력은 상이할 수 있으며, 추후 말처리 평가 프로그램 개발을 위해 하위과제를 보다 세분화하고 난이도를 조절할 필요가 있음을 확인하였다.
