Svensk delnominering av Lundamaterialet och en undersökning av prepositioner och komparationsformer hos barn i åldrarna 3:0-5:11 år

Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to collect normative data for Lundamaterialet, revised version, divided into phonology and grammar, for children aged 4:6-5:11. Another aim was to explore how children aged 3:0-5:11 had acquired prepositions and different forms of comparison. 195 children with typical language development participated. The children were divided into six groups, 116 children from the three oldest groups participated in the normative data. The results showed an increasing mean value with age for both phonology and grammar. The older children had acquired the prepositions and the forms of comparison better than the younger ones. Under, down, to and with were the easiest prepositions and in, in front of, beside and on were the most difficult. In the comparison of the adjectives/adverbs the positive form was the easiest. This study implies that an additional Swedish assessment material with norm data is available in clinical practice.
