Abstracts

PL

Artykuł jest drugą częścią studium poświęconego słownictwu w zaburzeniach należących do spektrum autyzmu i obejmuje charakterystykę jakościową słownictwa, a dokładnie jego aspektu treściowego. Autorka po krótkim przedstawieniu założeń teoretycznych i metodologicznych przechodzi do scharakteryzowania kategorii rzeczy i zdarzeń oraz odpowiadających im wykładników leksykalnych: rzeczowników i czasowników. Z analizy materiału badawczego, czyli odpowiednio wybranej literatury przedmiotu, wyłania się wniosek, że w języku osób z autyzmem, tak jak w języku osób o typowym rozwoju językowym, kategorie rzeczy i zdarzeń są wyraźnie reprezentowane. Występują analogie, podobieństwa, ale także różnice w obrębie określonych podkategorii semantycznych i wykładników leksykalnych. Wyniki badań są wysoce zróżnicowane, a przyczyny tego zróżnicowania autorka stara się wyjaśnić. Określa, także w jaki sposób przeprowadzona analiza wytycza drogę do dalszych studiów nad słownikiem w autyzmie.

This article is the second part of a study concerned with vocabulary in autism spectrum disorders. It presents a qualitative description of vocabulary in people with autism, and more precisely – its content aspect. After a short presentation of theoretical and methodological assumptions, the author proceeds to characterize the categories of things and events and their lexical exponents: nouns and verbs. The analysis of the research material, appropriately selected literature, shows that in the language of people with autism, as in the language of people with typical linguistic development, the categories of things and events are clearly represented. There are analogies, similarities, but also differences within specific semantic subcategories and lexical exponents. The research results are highly varied, and the author tries to explain the reasons for this variation. She also determines how the analysis carried out paves the way for further studies on vocabulary in autism.
