Resumo: | The main goal of the current study is to identify the impact of specific linguistic aspects in the task of word syllabic segmentation. Three prosodic variables were considered: syllabic complexity, word extension and word stress. The instruments for the evaluation of phonological awareness are normally conceived without underlying criteria constraining the shape of the phonological stimuli used for data collection. The present study contributes for the discussion on the relevant variables to be taken into account for the proposal of a linguistically controlled evaluation instrument in the field of phonological awareness. The syllabic segmentation task used contains 42 words and it was presented to a group of 80 Portuguese children with of mean age of 64 months. For the ‘syllabic complexity’ variable, the Onset of the first syllable of the word was controlled (CV, V, CCV). The results showed that children reach a higher rate of success for word-initial CV and V than for branching Onset. The reaction time values obtained show that the segmentation for word-initial V and CV forms are lower than the ones for word-initial CCV. As for the variable ‘word extension’, the success rates depended on this aspect: disyllabic words are easier to segment than disyllabic ones. Finally, the ‘word stress’ variable showed that the penultimate stress pattern in trisyllabic words promote the success in the children’s performance. |

O objectivo deste trabalho é o de contribuir para o estudo do efeito de variáveis linguísticas numa tarefa de segmentação silábica de palavras, manipulando-se, especificamente, três variáveis: complexidade silábica; extensão de palavra; acento de palavra. A relevância de um trabalho desta natureza reside na escassez de instrumentos de avaliação da consciência fonológica que tenham em consideração estas variáveis, podendo os resultados aqui obtidos constituir um contributo para a construção linguisticamente controlada de instrumentos desta natureza. Observaram-se 80 crianças portuguesas com uma média de idade de 64 meses, submetidas a uma tarefa de segmentação com 42 palavras. Quanto à variável complexidade silábica, os dados mostram que as crianças segmentam melhor palavras com CV inicial e V inicial do que palavras com ClV e CrV. Os tempos de reacção obtidos mostram que sílabas com V inicial e CV inicial demoram menos tempo a ser segmentadas do que as sílabas com CCV inicial. Por outro lado, as palavras dissilábicas apresentam valores de sucesso mais elevados e tempos de reacção mais baixos do que as palavras trissilábicas e os trissílabos paroxítonos têm percentagens de sucesso e tempos de segmentação mais elevados do que os proparoxítonos.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2009-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2009.2792https://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2009.2792Cadernos de Saúde; Vol 2 No 2 (2009); 31-41Cadernos de Saúde; v. 2 n. 2 (2009); 31-412795-43581647-055910.34632/cadernosdesaude.2009.2.2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2792https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2792/2695Direitos de Autor (c) 2009 Catarina Maria Afonso, Maria João Freitas, Dina Alveshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAfonso, Catarina MariaFreitas, Maria JoãoAlves, Dina2023-01-17T16:40:31ZPortal AgregadorONG |
