Resumen

Objetivo: Proporcionar un banco de palabras basado en la familiaridad y representatividad de las palabras para el intervalo de 18 a 36 meses, considerando el contexto cultural brasileño. Método: Se trata de una investigación transversal con un diseño cuantitativo. El cuestionario, enviado a los jueces especialistas, se basa en la lista de palabras y oraciones del Inventario de Desarrollo de la Comunicación (The MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories - MB-CDIs). Participaron tres grupos de expertos: logopedas expertos, logopedas y madres sin formación en el área. El cuestionario incluía 21 preguntas de familiaridad y 13 de representación, que se respondían mediante una escala Likert sobre familiaridad (familiar o desconocido) y representatividad (representación por imágenes o no). Las respuestas fueron analizadas utilizando estadística descriptiva e inferencial y representadas visualmente a través de nubes de palabras. Resultados: De acuerdo con los criterios, se seleccionaron solo aquellas que cumplieran con los valores de media, quedando un total de 146 palabras en total. A partir de la lista del inventario MB-CDIs adaptado al portugués, se organizaron por categorías para generar el banco de palabras, llamado Banco de Palabras para el Desarrollo Lingüístico Infantil (BPDLI): un Instrumento Validado para Portugués Brasileño. Conclusión: El trabajo aporta una herramienta validada que puede ser utilizada en la evaluación e intervención clínica del lenguaje en edades tempranas, permitiendo una mayor sensibilidad al contexto cultural y familiar del niño. Este banco de palabras también posee potencial terapéutico para enfoques en fonología, lenguaje narrativo y comunicación aumentativa y alternativa.

Abstract

Purpose: To provide a word bank based on familiarity and representativeness for the 18- to 36-month age group, considering the Brazilian cultural context. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with a quantitative design. The questionnaire, sent to expert judges, was based on the list of words and sentences from the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MB-CDIs). Three groups of experts participated: experienced speech therapists, speech therapists, and mothers with no training in the area. The questionnaire included 21 questions on familiarity and 13 on representation, which were answered using a Likert scale on familiarity (familiar or unfamiliar) and representativeness (representation by pictures or not). The responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and visually represented through word clouds. Results: According to the criteria, only those that met the mean values were selected, leaving a total of 146 words. Based on the list from the MB-CDIs inventory adapted to Portuguese, the words were organized by category to generate the word bank, called the Word Bank for Childhood Language Development (BPDLI): A Validated Instrument for Brazilian Portuguese. Conclusion: This work provides a validated tool that can be used in clinical language assessment and intervention at early ages, allowing for greater sensitivity to the child’s cultural and family context. This word bank also has therapeutic potential for approaches to phonology, narrative language, and augmentative and alternative communication.
