Non-Word Repetition and Vocabulary in Arabic-Swedish-Speaking 4–7-Year-Olds with and without Developmental Language Disorder

Abstract: The Arabic-speaking community in Sweden is large and diverse, yet linguistic reference data are lacking for Arabic-Swedish-speaking children. This study presents reference data from 99 TD children aged 4;0–7;11 on receptive and expressive vocabulary in the minority and the majority language, as well as for three types of non-word repetition (NWR) tasks. Vocabulary scores were investigated in relation to age, language exposure, and socio-economic status (SES). NWR performance was explored in relation to age, ty… Show more

“…Higher vocabulary scores were associated with better NWR performance, but this effect held only for the LS-Tur task when controlling for chronological age. This finding supports evidence from previous studies demonstrating an effect of vocabulary on language-specific NWR tasks (Öberg & Bohnacker 2022 [ 14 ]; Sorenson Duncan & Paradis 2016 [ 19 ]; Thordardottir & Brandeker 2013 [ 21 ]).…”

“…A recent study of 110 Arabic/Swedish children aged 4–7 with and without a diagnosis of DLD (Öberg & Bohnacker 2022 [ 14 ]) investigated the NWR performance on three different NWR tasks, and explored it in relation to age, language exposure, Swedish and Arabic vocabulary size, and NWR item properties (length and complexity). The Arabic/Swedish-speaking children performed a language-specific Swedish NWR task (with word-like items, 2-to-5 syllables, also involving clusters) and two language-independent LITMUS NWR tasks, one being the same as the one used by Boerma and colleagues (2015 [ 16 ], 2021 [ 17 ]), with simple CV syllable structure in all items (2-to-5 syllables, Chiat 2015 [ 9 ]), the other being another language-independent task (1-to-3 syllables, with clusters, dos Santos and Ferré 2018 [ 53 ]).…”
