This article presentes the structure and the psychometric characteristics of an Italian test devised for assessing metalinguistic development in the age range between late childhood and early adolescence (9-14 y.). The origins of the test is to be found in D. Hakes' work (1980) but with the introduction of a systematic distinction between two types of questions/responses, the first eliciting intuitive linguistic awareness and the subsequent eliciting explicit awareness. The test is composed of 6 subtests, partly metasemantic, partly metagrammatical, and metapho (Comprehension, Synonymy, Acceptability, Ambiguity, Phonological Segmentation). The psychometric characteristics are all very satisfactory.

Abstract

The origins of the test is to be found in D. Hakes' work (1980) but with the introduction of a systematic distinction between two types of questions/responses, the first eliciting intuitive linguistic awareness and the subsequent eliciting explicit awareness. The test is composed of 6 subtests, partly metasemantic, partly metagrammatical, and metapho (Comprehension, Synonymy, Acceptability, Ambiguity, Phonological Segmentation). The psychometric characteristics are all very satisfactory.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
