Abstract

The main aim of this study was to investigate the development of gesture and language acquisition in European Portuguese infants. These were assessed using the European Portuguese MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory: words and gestures. The parents’ reports of gestures and lexical competence of 1314 children, aged between 8 and 15 months, were collected. As expected, the results indicated that word comprehension, word production, and the use of gestures increased with age. A main gender effect was found for total gestures, with girls obtaining higher scores than boys, but the effect size was small. No differences were found between girls and boys for word comprehension, word production, and phrases understood. All lexical and gesture measurements were positively correlated, even after controlling for age and gender effects. These findings are discussed in terms of their consistency with those obtained for other languages.

Resumen

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue investigar el desarrollo de gestos y la adquisición del lenguaje en niños hablantes de portugués europeo. Los gestos y los conocimientos lingüísticos de los niños se evaluaron utilizando la versión en Portugués Europeo del Inventario de Desarrollo Comunicativo MacArthur-Bates: palabras y gestos. Se recogieron los informes paternos de los gestos y competencia léxica de 1,314 niños, con edades comprendidas entre los 8 y los 15 meses. Como era esperable, los resultados indican que la comprensión de palabras, la producción de palabras y el uso de gestos aumentan con la edad. Se encontró también un efecto principal del género para el total de gestos, obteniendo las niñas puntuaciones más altas que los niños, pero el tamaño del efecto es pequeño. No se encontraron diferencias entre niños y niñas para la comprensión y producción de palabras y para frases entendidas. Todas las medidas de léxico y gestos están correlacionadas positivamente, incluso después de controlar los efectos de la edad y del género. Estos resultados se discuten en términos de su consistencia con los obtenidos para otros idiomas.
