摘要
This retrospective study provides insights on linguistic development in exceptional circum-stances assessing 378 children (between 2;6 and 3;6) who lived their first years during theCOVID-19 pandemic and comparing it with normative data collected before this period(CDI-III-PT;Cadime et al., 2021). It investigates the extent to which linguistic developmentwas modulated by a complex set of factors, including sex, maternal education, book reading,language-promoting practices, COVID-19 infection, parental stress and sleeping problems,considering three periods (during lockdowns, out of lockdowns and at present). The resultsshow a substantial negative effect of the pandemic on both lexical and syntactic development.Considering individual variation, structural equation modelling unveiled a complex scenarioin which age, sex, book reading, language-promoting practices, sleeping problems andCOVID-19 infection showed a direct effect on linguistic development. Maternal educationand parental stress had an indirect effect on children's language, mediated by book readingand sleeping problems, respectively
