Zusammenfassung: Theoretischer Hintergrund: Da der Bildungserfolg stark von den Sprachkompetenzen abhängt, sind Kenntnisse zur Sprachentwicklung auch im Jugendalter zur Ableitung diagnostischer und unterstützender Strategien bedeutsam. Fragestellung: Die Studie versucht eine differenzielle Einschätzung der Sprachentwicklung mit Blick auf den Schulabschluss und das Alter anhand von Aufgabenstellungen aus der klinischen Diagnostik. Methode: In einer Stichprobe Jugendlicher ( N = 147, deutschsprachig, ohne bekannte Sprachstörung, Alter 17 – 22 Jahre, verschiedene Schularten) wurden Tests zum dichotischen Hören, Schnellbenennen, Sätze-Verstehen und Verstehen figurativer Sprache des Leipziger Sprachinstrumentariums Jugend (LSI.J) vorgelegt 1 . Ergebnisse: Regressionsmodelle zeigen einen starken Einfluss des Prädiktors Schulabschluss – nicht jedoch des Prädiktors Alter. Diskussion und Schlussfolgerung: Diskutiert werden die Anforderungen der diagnostischen Aufgaben, der Einfluss des Bildungskontexts und die Bildungschancen von mehrsprachigen Jugendlichen oder Jugendlichen mit Sprachentwicklungsstörungen.

Does the processing advantage of formulaic language persist in its nonadjacent forms? Evidence from Chinese collocation processing in children

Recent studies have accumulated to suggest that children, akin to adults, exhibit a processing advantage for formulaic language (e.g. save energy) over novel language (e.g. sell energy), as well as sensitivity to phrase frequencies. The majority of these studies are based on formulaic sequences in their canonical form. In natural language use, however, many formulaic sequences, collocations in particular, can be modified with words intervening in between the individual constituents (e.g. save energy → save all forms of energy). For some collocations, their nonadjacent forms are equally, and even more frequently used than their adjacent form. Despite this, it remains almost unknown whether the processing advantage and sensitivity to phrase frequencies persist in nonadjacent collocations in children. Based on reading times in a self-paced reading experiment, the current study found that two age groups – third and sixth graders – exhibited a processing advantage for Chinese collocations and sensitivity to phrase frequencies, with two and even four Chinese characters inserted in the middle. The persistence of processing advantage and sensitivity was affected by insertion length as well as age. These results are in line with a usage-based theoretical approach to language learning, processing and use.
