This work presents an analysis of the intonation competence in a group of Italian children with cochlear implant (CI). Early cochlear implantation plays a crucial role in language development for children who were born deaf in that it favours the acquisition of complex aspects of language, such as the intonation structure. A story-generation task, the Narrative Competence Task, was used to elicit children’s stories. Narrations produced by 8 early implanted children and by 16 children with typically hearing (TH) (8 one-to-one matched considering the chronological age, TH-CA, and 8 considering the hearing age, TH-HA) were analysed considering intonation features (pitch accent distribution, edge tones and inner breaks). Results show that children with CI produce intonation patterns that are similar to those of both TH-CA and TH-HA control groups. Few significant differences were found only between children with CI and children matched for TH-HA in the use of rising edge tones. These results are discussed in light of the role of cognitive development in using prosody and intonation and the importance of early CI implantation. This study shows for the first time that intonation use of early implanted children is not different from that of typically developing children with the same chronological age.

早期植入儿童和听力正常儿童语调结构的相似用法:以意大利人为例

这项工作对一组意大利人工耳蜗(CI)儿童的语调能力进行了分析。早期的人工耳蜗在聋哑儿童的语言发展中起着至关重要的作用,因为它有利于掌握语言的复杂方面,例如语调结构。一个故事产生任务,即叙事能力任务,被用来引出儿童的故事。考虑了语调特征,分析了8名早期植入儿童和16名典型听力(TH)儿童的叙述(8个一对一的匹配(考虑时间年龄,TH-CA,8个考虑了听力年龄,TH-HA)) (音高重音分布,边缘色调和内部中断)。结果表明,患有CI的儿童产生的语调模式与TH-CA和TH-HA对照组的相似。仅在有CI的儿童和使用TH-HA的儿童在使用上升边缘音调方面发现很少的显着差异。鉴于认知发展在使用韵律和语调中的作用以及早期CI植入的重要性,对这些结果进行了讨论。这项研究首次表明,早期植入儿童的语调使用与具有相同时间顺序的典型发育儿童没有不同。
