抽动症是发病于儿童时期的一种神经发育性障碍,发病率为0.6%~1%,男孩是女孩的3~4倍。该病对患者在学习、社会交往、生活和心理等方面造成极大影响,但发病初期症状易被家长忽视,且很多人误认为其可以自愈,导致病情延误,治疗困难。语言作为最直观便捷的方式对该病的发现、辅助诊断有重要作用。作者从发声抽动、流利障碍、非发声抽动语言3个方面对抽动症语言研究的进展作一综述,以期有助于相关研究及临床语言学在国内的发展。
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which onset in childhood, with an incidence of 0.6% to 1%, and the ratio of the number of boys to girls of 3 to 4. This disease can cause great effects on learning, so- cial interaction, quality of life and psychological conditions but its symptoms may be easily ignored by parents. Many peo- ple misunderstand that TS patients can recover without treatment, which then delays diagnosis and therapy, and cause dif- ficulty in treatment. Language is a direct and convenient method to identify and assess the disease. The present paper conducted a systematic literature review to summarize vocal tics, fluency disorder and non - tic language, and its findings may be helpful for domestic development of clinical linguistics.
