RESUMO

El lenguaje científico, en el ámbito de la anatomía y ciencias de la salud, se sustenta en una terminología que ha estado abierta a discusiones y modificaciones. En Terminologia Anatomica, el término 'Lengua' proviene del latín Lingua. Sin embargo, también existen términos que derivan del lexema griego glossa y glotta, que también significa lengua. Lo que establece hiperonimia y sinonimia entre estructuras anatómicas relacionadas con este órgano músculo-sensorial. El objetivo fue analizar la presencia de los lexemas 'glossa' - 'glotta' en Terminologia Anatomica y revisar las definiciones de términos que incluyan estos lexemas utilizando el Diccionario Manual Griego-Español VOX y Vocabulario Básico de Griego con anotaciones morfológicas y etimológicas. Para la etimología en español se utilizaron el Diccionario panhispánico de términos médicos y Diccionario médico-biológico, histórico y etimológico. También se determinó la primera vez que se ocuparon en español, utilizando Corpus Diacrónico del Español. Los lexemas estudiados aparecen citados 15 veces en Terminologia Anatomica. Estos se definen como 'lengua, boca; habla, don de la palabra; expresión, manifestación, palabras; habla, lengua, lenguaje, idioma'. También se encuentran algunos términos derivados como Ductus thyroglossalis, epiglottis, glottis, ligamentum thyroepiglotticum y Vallecula epiglottica. Por lo que estos lexemas se consideran sinónimos. El lexema glossa se utilizó por primera vez en el ámbito médico el año 1870. Los lexemas glossa y glotta son frecuentes en Terminologia Anatomica, generando preguntas sobre el uso del doble sigma en griego jónico y doble tau en griego ático clásico. Aunque son sinónimos, su abundancia destaca la importancia del dominio del lenguaje anatómico para la comunicación efectiva y la comprensión precisa entre estudiantes, profesionales e investigadores.

SUMMARY: The scientific language in the field of anatomy and health sciences relies on a terminology that has been open to discussions and modifications. In Terminologia Anatomica, the term lengua comes from the Latin Lingua. However, there are also terms derived from the Greek lexemes glossa and glotta, both meaning 'tongue.' This establishes hyperonymy and synonymy among anatomical structures related to this sensory-muscular organ. The objective was to analyze the presence of the lexemes glossa - glotta in Terminologia Anatomica and review the definitions of terms containing these lexemes using the Diccionario Manual Griego-Español VOX and the Vocabulario Básico de Griego con anotaciones morfológicas y etimológicas. For Spanish etymology, the Diccionario panhispánico de términos médicos and the Diccio- nario Médico-Biológico, Histórico y Etimológico were used. The first use in Spanish was determined using the Corpus Diacrónico del Español. The studied lexemes were cited 15 times in Terminologia Anatomica, defined as 'tongue, mouth; speech, gift of speech; expression, manifestation, words; speech, tongue, language, idioma.' Some derived terms are also found, such as Ductus thyroglossalis, Epiglottis, Glottis, Ligamentum thyroepiglotticum, and Vallecula epiglottica. Therefore, these lexemes are considered synonymous. The lexeme glossa was first used in the medical field in 1870. The lexemes glossa and glotta are frequent in Terminologia Anatomica, raising questions about the use of double sigma in Ionic Greek and double tau in classical Attic Greek. Although synonymous, their abundance emphasizes the importance of mastering anatomical language for effective communication and precise understanding among students, professionals, and researchers.

RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to analyze the cross-linguistic influence of previously learned languages and working memory capacities on the vocabulary performance of two different typological languages. The objectives of this study were (1) to compare the working memory capacities of bilingual adults in relation to the vocabulary performance of two different languages never learned by the participants, and (2) to analyze to what extent the typology of previously learned languages influences working memory capacities in relation to the vocabulary performance of French and Nahuatl. A group of 43 Mexican Spanish college students participated in this experimental study. The participants completed a series of working memory tasks in Nahuatl and French. The results showed that working memory capacities were lower in Nahuatl than in French. Thus, a correlation was found between their first and second language and vocabulary performance in French. We can consider the influence of previously learned languages as a significant factor in vocabulary acquisition in accordance with the participants' working memory capacities.

RESUMO

Background: Language disturbances are a core feature of schizophrenia, often studied as a formal thought disorder. The neurobiology of language in schizophrenia has been addressed within the same framework, that language and thought are equivalents considering symptoms and not signs. This review aims to systematically examine published peer-reviewed studies that employed neuroimaging techniques to investigate aberrant brain-language networks in individuals with schizophrenia in relation to linguistic signs. Methods: We employed a language model for automatic data extraction. We selected our studies according to the PRISMA recommendations, and we conducted the quality assessment of the selected studies according to the STROBE guidance. Results: We analyzed the findings from 37 studies, categorizing them based on patient characteristics, brain measures, and language task types. The inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and superior temporal gyrus (STG) exhibited the most significant differences among these studies and paradigms. Conclusions: We propose guidelines for future research in this field based on our analysis. It is crucial to investigate larger networks involved in language processing, and language models with brain metrics must be integrated to enhance our understanding of the relationship between language and brain abnormalities in schizophrenia.

RESUMO

Changes in psychoanalytic therapy have been traditionally attributed to self-knowledge (insight) in the client, provided by the therapist's interpretations. In recent years there has been growing realization that such changes can also be the consequence of the development of new forms of relatedness through client-therapist interaction, particularly through special intersubjective moments called moments of meeting. Drawing on the methods and findings of Conversation Analysis about the sequential organization of psychotherapeutic interaction, this single-case study examines the unfolding of a moment of meeting in the final session of a brief psychoanalytic therapy in Peru (in Spanish) with a female client victim of domestic violence. Our analysis shows that the moment of meeting, which resolves a challenge to the intersubjective relationship posed by a now moment, comes about interactionally through a sequentially accomplished shared practice of co-animation. In this sequence the client, who had previously assumed a passive role, exercises her own agency to assume an active role, which the therapist ratifies through his response. In this way, a momentary but significant transformation in the here-and-now relationship between client and therapist occurs. Thus, our analysis contributes to the understanding of how a transformation of relation-the transitory emergence of a new form of relatedness-can take place in and through sequentially organized talk and action in psychotherapy. Our study also sheds light on the role of language in moments of meeting, as the moment of meeting in our segment does not occur in parallel with the exchange of linguistic utterances between client and therapist, but through the exchange of such linguistic utterances and through the sequence of actions carried out by that exchange. In this way, the sequential doing-together with words leads to a moment of meeting, bringing about change, at least momentarily, in the implicit ways-of-being-with-others of the client.

RESUMO

Background: The underdiagnosis of developmental language disorder (DLD) in children is a serious problem in developing countries with limited resources. It has long been noted that the concerns parents have about their children's health and development are richly informative, and if this information can be used for diagnosis, it may provide a means to address the problem of underdiagnosis of DLD. This study aimed to quantify the utility of parental linguistic concern questions (PLCQ) on the identification of language disorders in monolingual Spanish-speaking children in Mexico. It also explored whether a combination of biological and environmental conditions questions (BECQ) might improve the performance of a screening test to identify DLD. Methods: A total of 680 monolingual Mexican Spanish-speaking children and their parents from urban areas in Mexico participated in the study. The distribution of responses to questions about DLD concerns was compared between 185 children diagnosed with DLD and 495 control subjects, and multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to select questions with high predictivity, based on the Akaike information criterion. The diagnostic utility of the questions was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, stratum-specific likelihood ratios (SSLRs), and changes in pretest and post-test probabilities of DLD. A similar procedure was used to explore whether adding BECQ would improve the diagnostic utility of questions about DLD concerns using data of 128 children. Results: Four questions regarding parental linguistic concerns were found to be useful in identifying children with DLD. When all four concerns were present, the SSLR was 8.79, while it was only 0.27 when there were no concerns at all. The estimates of DLD probability increased from 0.12 to 0.55 at pretest and post-test. On the other hand, the BECQ did not perform as well as the PLCQ in identifying DLD, and the improvement in diagnostic performance it provided was limited to one question. Conclusion: The parental questionnaire can be used as a screening tool to help in identifying children with DLD. The data presented in this study underscore the importance of considering linguistic parental concerns as part of the screening process. This is a realistic option to provide a solution to the current problem of underdiagnosis of DLD in Mexico.

RESUMO

Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world. Its proliferation comes with variations in written and spoken communication among different regions. Understanding language variations can help improve model performances on regional tasks, such as those involving figurative language and local context information. This manuscript presents and describes a set of regionalized resources for the Spanish language built on 4-year Twitter public messages geotagged in 26 Spanish-speaking countries. We introduce word embeddings based on FastText, language models based on BERT, and per-region sample corpora. We also provide a broad comparison among regions covering lexical and semantical similarities and examples of using regional resources on message classification tasks.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether or not gender influences letters of recommendation for cardiothoracic surgery fellowship. METHODS: From applications to an Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education cardiothoracic surgery fellowship program between 2016 and 2021, applicant and author characteristics were examined with descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and Pearson χ2 tests. Linguistic software was used to assess communication differences in letters of recommendation, stratified by author and applicant gender. An additional higher-level analysis was then performed using a generalized estimating equations model to examine linguistic differences among author-applicant gender pairs. RESULTS: Seven hundred thirty-nine recommendation letters extracted from 196 individual applications were analyzed; 90% (n = 665) of authors were men and 55.8% (n = 412) of authors were cardiothoracic surgeons. Compared with women authors, authors who are men wrote more authentic (P = .01) and informal (P = .03) recommendation letters. When writing for women applicants, authors who are men were more likely to display their own leadership and status (P = .03) and discuss women applicants' social affiliations (P = .01), like occupation of applicant's father or husband. Women authors wrote longer letters (P = .03) and discussed applicants' work (P = .01) more often than authors who are men. They also mentioned leisure activities (P = .03) more often when writing for women applicants. CONCLUSIONS: Our work identifies gender-specific differences in letters of recommendation. Women applicants may be disadvantaged because their recommendation letters are significantly more likely to focus on their social ties, leisure activities, and the status of the letter writer. Author and reviewer awareness of gender-biased use of language will aid in improvements to the candidate selection process.

RESUMO

The Upper Rio Negro regional social system is made up of more than 30 languages belonging to six linguistic families. This results from socio-historical processes stretching back at least two millennia, which have built a system with different levels of autonomy and hierarchy associated with a mythical and ritual complex, and with social and linguistic exchanges. The analysis of these processes require an interdisciplinary outlook to understand the ways in which people from different linguistic families interacted and created it. More specifically, we ask how linguistic and cultural diversity have been created in the context of intense relations of multilingualism and inter-ethnic contact. To this end, we integrate perspectives from historical linguistics (regarding languages from the Tukanoan, Arawakan and Naduhup families) with archaeological data from the Amazonian past. Through this multidisciplinary approach, we seek to develop a linguistic-anthropological understanding of the dynamics shaping the region's diversity and inter-ethnic relations. We show that processes creating diversity are interrelated with changes in social histories, and are especially tied to the establishment of new forms of social organization as a result of pre-colonial inter-ethnic relations. This has led to the construction of various local multilingual ecologies connected to macro-regional processes in Amazonia.

RESUMO

Although language-family specific traits which do not find direct counterparts outside a given language family are usually ignored in quantitative phylogenetic studies, scholars have made ample use of them in qualitative investigations, revealing their potential for identifying language relationships. An example of such a family specific trait are body-part expressions in Pano languages, which are often lexicalized forms, composed of bound roots (also called body-part prefixes in the literature) and non-productive derivative morphemes (called here body-part formatives). We use various statistical methods to demonstrate that whereas body-part roots are generally conservative, body-part formatives exhibit diverse chronologies and are often the result of recent and parallel innovations. In line with this, the phylogenetic structure of body-part roots projects the major branches of the family, while formatives are highly non-tree-like. Beyond its contribution to the phylogenetic analysis of Pano languages, this study provides significative insights into the role of grammatical innovations for language classification, the origin of morphological complexity in the Amazon and the phylogenetic signal of specific grammatical traits in language families.

RESUMO

Due to the lack of normative data about bilingual speech development and limited availability of diagnostic tools optimised for this population, bilingual children under consideration for speech-language services are at an elevated risk of misdiagnosis. In the absence of validated assessment tools, speech-language pathologists may use measures of accuracy and variability of speech production to diagnose suspected speech sound disorders in bilingual children. Research in general motor development suggests that variability and accuracy may trade off in the course of maturation, whereby movement variability spikes before the transition to a more mature stage of motor control. Such variability-accuracy tradeoffs have been described in monolingual speech development but are understudied in bilingual populations, where cross-linguistic transfer occurs. This study aimed to examine variability, accuracy, and cross-linguistic transfer in the speech of 20 bilingual children speaking Jamaican Creole and English. We hypothesised that children who showed higher accuracy in their productions would also exhibit more variable speech, indicating a variability-accuracy tradeoff. The Word Inconsistency Assessment from the Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology was administered to measure accuracy and variability in the English context, where misdiagnosis is likely to occur. Contrary to our hypothesis, we observed that individuals with higher accuracy tended to be less variable in their productions. Future research should examine longitudinal trajectories of accuracy and variability and consider a more culturally-appropriate definition of 'accuracy' in documenting bilingual speech sound development.

RESUMO

Abstract BACKGROUND: The burnout syndrome can be avoided and/or have its signs and symptoms reduced by knowing the five associated factors that help identify the health and working conditions of the professors of graduate programs. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with burnout among faculty members of graduate stricto sensu programs. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 585 faculty members of Graduate Programs in Language Teaching and Linguistics in Brazil. METHODS: Data were collected through an online questionnaire. The outcomes were the dimensions of burnout and its related factors identified through multiple templates of logistic regression. RESULTS: Faculty members with increased chances of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization mentioned the use of medications due to labor activities. The negative influence of pace and intensity of work, thoughts about quitting the program, and having to produce three or more scientific articles were associated with higher chances of emotional exhaustion, while having to achieve nine hours per week in undergraduate programs was related to reduced personal accomplishment. Having a conjugal relationship, satisfaction with health and work, post-doctoral degree, autonomy, and good interpersonal relationships with faculty members of the program reduced the chances of emotional exhaustion. Reduced chances of depersonalization occurred among those who were satisfied with work, had good interpersonal relationships with advisees and faculty members, and received productivity funding. CONCLUSION: Sociodemographic, health, and occupational factors related to the dimensions of burnout were identified.

RESUMO

Un apreciable impacto lo constituye el desarrollo linguo-comunicativo en el Inglés con fines profesionales del estomatólogo para la comunicación profesional, sus habilidades comunicativas mejoran con la práctica intensiva y extensiva del idioma extranjero, lo cual garantiza adaptar la comunicación a los contextos diversos (docencia, asistencia e investigación) y posibilita la construcción de un discurso basado en su producción oral. Presentamos el caso de una estomatóloga que ingresó en el curso de superación idiomática y descubrimos aptitudes para la lengua extranjera, se les realizaron pruebas orales y escritas en situaciones comunicativas profesionales y su trayectoria se elevó con su preparación hasta obtener los niveles B1 y B2 según el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas y sus suscriptores. El desarrollo linguo-comunicativo en el Inglés con Fines Profesionales (IFP) en estomatología si no se entrena con sistematicidad implica una disminución en lo lingüístico-profesional estomatológica y reduce ampliamente el nivel científico actualizado por los resultados que el mundo de la ciencia estomatológica engloba en los circuitos internacionales de poder de información anglófonos. Ante la creciente demanda de la preparación idiomática para los profesionales de la salud de la provincia, se necesita evaluar y entrenar la capacidad lingüístico-profesional en los estomatólogos. El estudio de caso demuestra que con una intensiva y extensiva práctica del IFP se puede comunicar el estomatólogo en los contextos diversos (docencia, asistencia e investigación).

An appreciable impact is the linguo-communicative development in English for professional purposes of the stomatologist for professional communication, their communicative skills improve with the intensive and extensive practice of the foreign language, which guarantees to adapt communication to different contexts (teaching, assistance and research) and enables the construction of a discourse based on their oral production. We present the case of a stomatologist who entered the language improvement course and we discovered foreign language skills, oral and written tests were carried out in professional communicative situations and her career rose with her preparation to obtain levels B1 and B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and its subscribers. The linguo-communicative development in English for Professional Purposes (IFP) in stomatology if it is not trained systematically implies a decrease in the linguistic-professional stomatology and greatly reduces the scientific level updated by the results that the world of stomatological science encompasses in the international circuits of English-speaking information power. Given the growing demand for language preparation for health professionals in the province, it is necessary to evaluate and train the linguistic-professional capacity in stomatologists. The case study demonstrates that with an intensive and extensive practice of the IFP the stomatologist can communicate in the different contexts (teaching, assistance and research).

Um impacto apreciável é o desenvolvimento linguo-comunicativo em inglês para fins profissionais do estomatologista para a comunicação profissional, suas habilidades comunicativas melhoram com a prática intensiva e extensiva da língua estrangeira, o que garante a adaptação da comunicação a diferentes contextos (ensino, assistência e pesquisa) e possibilita a construção de um discurso a partir de sua produção oral. Apresentamos o caso de uma estomatóloga que ingressou no curso de aperfeiçoamento linguístico e descobrimos habilidades em língua estrangeira, testes orais e escritos foram realizados em situações comunicativas profissionais e sua carreira aumentou com sua preparação para obter os níveis B1 e B2 de acordo com o Quadro Europeu Comum de Referência para Línguas e seus assinantes. O desenvolvimento linguo-comunicativo em Inglês para Fins Profissionais (IFP) em estomatologia, se não for treinado sistematicamente, implica uma diminuição da estomatologia linguístico-profissional e reduz sobremaneira o nível científico, atualizado pelos resultados que o mundo da ciência estomatológica engloba nos circuitos internacionais de poder informacional de língua inglesa. Dada a crescente demanda de preparação linguística para os profissionais de saúde na província, faz-se necessário avaliar e treinar a capacidade linguístico-profissional em estomatologistas. O estudo de caso demonstra que com uma prática intensiva e extensiva do IFP o estomatologista pode se comunicar nos diferentes contextos (ensino, assistência e pesquisa).

RESUMO

RESUMEN Son diversas las proclamas que abogan por el uso constante del lenguaje inclusivo en las aulas de clase con el objeto de disminuir las brechas de discriminación e intolerancia ante la diversidad en el ámbito educativo. El presente estudio analiza las actitudes lingüísticas de los maestros bogotanos de la escuela pública respecto de la utilización del lenguaje inclusivo. La investigación se inscribe en el enfoque Qualitativo con un alcance descriptivo. Se empleó el cuestionario sociolingüístico y la escala de Likert en la medición de las actitudes lingüísticas, instrumentos propios del método directo. En los hallazgos, se observa que las percepciones lingüísticas negativas se fundamentan en la corrección idiomàtica y en las directrices establecidas por la Real Academia Española. Asimismo, algunos maestros consideran necesario replantear la noción de lenguaje inclusivo, pues la actual no involucra el contexto escolar en su totalidad. Se concluye que los docentes asumen la normalización lingüística en la valoración del lenguaje inclusivo y, al mismo tiempo, consideran que las formas @, -e, -x no están insertas en su variedad lingüística.

AВSTRАСT There are several proclamations advocating the continued use of inclusive language in classrooms to reduce the gaps of discrimination and intolerance to diversity in the field of education. The study is part of the qualitative approach with a descriptive scope. The sociolinguistic questionnaire and the Likert scale were used in the measurement of linguistic attitudes, instruments of the direct method. In the findings, it is observed that negative linguistic attitudes are based on language correction and the guidelines established by the Real Academia Española. In addition, some teachers consider that it is necessary to rethink the notion of inclusive language, since the current one does not involve the school context in its entirety. It is concluded that teachers assume linguistic standardization in the assessment of inclusive Language, and, at the same time, they consider that the forms of inclusive language are not embedded in their linguistic variety.

RESUMO Há várias proclamações que defendem o uso constante de linguagem inclusiva na sala de aula, a fim de reduzir as lacunas de discriminação e intolerância em relação à diversidade na esfera educacional. Este estudo analisa as atitudes lingüísticas dos professores da escola pública de Bogotá em relação ao uso de uma linguagem inclusiva. A pesquisa é baseada em uma abordagem qualitativa com um escopo descritivo. O questionário sociolingüístico e a escala Likert foram usados para medir atitudes lingüísticas, instrumentos típicos do método direto. Os resultados mostram que as percepções lingüísticas negativas se baseiam na correção idiomática e nas diretrizes estabelecidas pela Real Academia Espanhola. Além disso, alguns professores consideram necessário repensar a noção de linguagem inclusiva, pois a linguagem atual não envolve o contexto escolar em sua totalidade. Conclui-se que os professores assumem a normalização lingüística na valorização da linguagem inclusiva e, ao mesmo tempo, consideram que as formas @, -e, -x não são parte de sua variedade lingüística.

RESUMO

RESUMEN El artículo destaca la formación del profesional como un proceso de apropiación de la cultura que precisa del accionar planificado del profesor con un sentido orientador y de la formación lingüística para hacerlo, desde su conciencia lingüística para usar con un criterio exhaustivo la lengua idioma en la enculturación inherente al proceso de formación. Se hace un recorrido, por lo que se considera dimensiones para la comprensión global del sistema con el cual se construye - deconstruye la apropiación de la cultura: el lenguaje y sus unidades estructurales, con énfasis en el sistema léxico y sus principales modelos; de ahí que le es inherente al presente texto el objetivo de exponer los resultados de una sistematización teórica sobre el tratamiento de estos contenidos en la educación superior. Los resultados que se exhiben derivan de una línea de investigación que la autora desarrolla hace treinta y cinco años, como docente e investigadora en la educación superior, en la que se inscribe además, su tesis doctoral.

ABSTRACT The article highlights the training of the professional as a process of appropriation of the culture that requires the planned action of the teacher with a guiding sense and the linguistic training to do so, from his linguistic awareness to use the language in enculturation with an exhaustive criterion. inherent in the training process. A tour is made, for what is considered dimensions for the global understanding of the system with which the appropriation of culture is built - deconstructed: language and its structural units, with emphasis on the lexical system and its main models; hence, the objective of presenting the results of a theoretical systematization on the treatment of these contents in higher education is inherent to this text. The results that are exhibited derive from a line of research that the author has developed thirty-five years ago, as a teacher and researcher in higher education, in which her doctoral thesis is also inscribed.

RESUMO

Resumen En este trabajo se indagó, desde una aproximación psicológica no representacional, y a partir de dos experimentos, por el efecto de la estructura textual en la comprensión y abstracción de textos. En el primer experimento, quince estudiantes universitarios leyeron tres textos históricos distintos con una de tres estructuras -secuencial, jerárquica o circunstancial-, y se midió si interpretaron, subinterpretaron o sobreinterpretaron los textos en tres pruebas propias de cada estructura, y si realizaban la abstracción de un hecho común a los tres textos. En el segundo, se replicó sistemáticamente el primer experimento, pero con otros quince estudiantes, que se asignaron según su conocimiento conceptual del dominio histórico-político. Los resultados sugieren mayor subinterpretación con la estructura secuencial, y mayor sobreinterpretación con la jerárquica y la circunstancial; el conocimiento conceptual explicó los hallazgos mejor que la estructura textual, pero no dio cuenta de toda la variabilidad. Al final se discuten los resultados en términos de la mediación lingüística como una competencia subordinante tanto del conocimiento conceptual como de la estructura textual. Asimismo, se resaltan las ventajas del registro evolutivo de la comprensión de cada lector, se anticipan algunas fuentes de control adicional para futuros estudios, y se culmina proponiendo algunas implicaciones educativas de los hallazgos.

Abstract In two experiments, the effect of textual structure on the comprehension and abstraction of texts from a non-representational psychological approach was investigated. In the first experiment, fifteen college students read three different historical texts with one of three structures: -sequential, hierarchical, and circumstantial- and t was measured whether they interpreted, under-intetpreted or over-interpreted the texts in three tests specific to each structure, and whether they abstracted a fact common to the three texts. In the second, the first experiment was systematically replicated but with another fifteen students, who were assigned according to their conceptual knowledge of the historical-political domain. The results suggest greater under-intetpretation with the sequential structure, and greater over-interpretation with the hierarchical and circumstantial. Conceptual knowledge explained the findings better than the textual structure but did not account for all variability. The results are discussed in terms of linguistic mediation as a subordinating competence of both conceptual knowledge and textual structure. It also highlights the advantages of the evolving record of each reader's comprehension, anticipates some sources of additional control for future studies, and concludes by proposing some educational implications of the findings.

RESUMO

RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN: Los aspectos narrativos del lenguaje constituyen una competencia en el desarrollo funcional de la comunicación, la cual predice el desempeño académico de los niños. En este trabajo se estudia la narrativa en niños con trastornos del desarrollo, a fin de hacer diagnósticos precoces y adoptar mejores estrategias terapéuticas. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio controlado analítico de corte transversal. Se incluyen sujetos de 9 a 17 años, evaluados con la prueba de teoría de la mente (TOM) de Sally y Anne, quienes luego deben narrar la historia de la prueba. Se evaluó el número total de palabras (TP), la cantidad total de oraciones (TO), el promedio de palabras por oración (PPO), la sintaxis (S) y la capacidad expresar la idea central del relato (ICR). RESULTADOS: Participaron 61 sujetos. El grupo 1 o control con 24, el grupo 2 con 37 sujetos (con diagnóstico de trastorno por déficit de atención (TDA), trastorno de la lectoescritura (TLE), trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) y discapacidad intelectual (DI)). En teoría de la mente respondieron correctamente 18 participantes del grupo 1, 7 participantes con TDA, 4 de los TLE, 5 sujetos con DI y 3 sujetos con TEA. Los sujetos del grupo 2 presentaron distintos grados de dificultades narrativas según el trastorno. A mayor edad utilizaron mayor cantidad de palabras, sin distinción por sexo. CONCLUSIÓN: Es importante estudiar los aspectos narrativos del lenguaje en pediatría puesto que las habilidades requeridas incluyen aspectos estructurales del lenguaje y habilidades cognitivas que es necesario tener en cuenta para definir estrategias terapéuticas más precisas y acordes a las necesidades de este grupo de pacientes.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Narrative is a competence in the functional development of communication that predicts academic performance in children. We studied narrative in children with developmental disorders in order to develop better therapeutic strategies. METHODS: Cross-sectional analytical controlled study. We included subjects age 9 to 17 years old, evaluated with the Mind Theory Test (TOM) of Sally and Anne in which they have to repeat a story. We evaluated total number of words (TP), total number of sentences (TO), average words per sentence (PPO), syntax (S) and ability to express the central idea of the story (ICR). RESULTS: We included 61 subjects in two groups. Group 1 or control with 24, Group 2 with 37 subjects (with a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD), literacy disorder (TLE), autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability (ID)). TOM 3 was correctly answered by 18 subjects of Group 1, 7 of ADD, 4 of the TLE, 5 of the ID and 3 participants with TEA. The Group 2 presented different degrees of narrative difficulties. All children said more words when they grew up without distinction by gender. DISCUSSION: Children with developmental disorders present a lower performance in narrative aspects depending of the disorder, which allows to carry out therapeutic strategies according to their needs.

RESUMO

The Focus on the Outcomes of Communication Under Six (FOCUS) is one of a few validated outcome measures related to children's communicative participation. Additional validation of the FOCUS measure could address the paucity of validated outcomes-based measures available for assessing preschool-age children, particularly for those who are multilingual. The data collected for this study, with a representative sample of Jamaican Creole-English speaking children, extend the applicability of the FOCUS to a broader range of preschoolers and expand psychometric evidence for the FOCUS to a multilingual and understudied context.

RESUMO

Abstract In this study, we investigated the relationships among achievement goals, self-efficacy, reading strategies, and the self-assessment of performance in 47 Middle School students with control of the variable's history of repetition, school year, and age. The differences in the students' self-assessment regarding the practice of recreational reading were also analyzed. The students responded to three scales of the Multidimensional Battery of Reading Comprehension Self-Regulation. Statistically significant correlations were identified among the motivational constructs, reading strategies, self-assessment, and achievement goals. We identified differences in the indices between the bivariate and partial correlations. The achievement goals were predictors of self-efficacy and reading strategies. These three constructs predicted the students' self-assessment in Portuguese language and reading comprehension. Students who practiced recreational reading presented a higher self-assessment than students who did not have this habit. It is suggested to continue the investigations on the theme and incorporate the findings of this study into the pedagogical practices that encourage reading.

Resumen En este estudio, investigamos la relación entre los objetivos de logro, la autoeficacia, las estrategias de lectura y la autoevaluación del desempeño de 47 estudiantes de la enseñanza fundamental, con control de las variables historial de repetición, años escolares y edad. Se analizaron las diferencias en la autoevaluación de los estudiantes en la práctica de la lectura recreativa. Los estudiantes respondieron tres escalas de la Batería Multidimensional de Autorregulación para la Comprensión Lectora. Identificamos diferencias en las correlaciones bivariadas y parciales entre construcciones motivacionales, estrategias de lectura, autoevaluación y entre objetivos de logro. Los objetivos de logro fueron predicen autoeficacia y estrategias de lectura. Estos tres constructos predijeron la autoevaluación en portugués y comprensión de lectura. Los estudiantes que practicaban lectura recreativa tuvieron una autoevaluación más alta en comparación con los estudiantes que no tenían este hábito. Se sugiere continuar las investigaciones sobre el tema e incorporar los hallazgos de este estudio en las prácticas pedagógicas de la lectura.

RESUMO
