EXPRESSIVE SKILL OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM: A PSYCHOLINGUISTICS STUDY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The expressive skill is a verbal language skill to interact with other people. The ability of children with autism to express ideas in their mind can indicate that their receptive ability works effectively. The purpose of this research was to study types of utterances the children can produce. Data in the forms of utterances produced by the children as responses to initiating acts performed by their teachers were collected. Data were then analysed to classify them in accordance to the process the utterances were produced. The results show that the children’ skills in executing utterances are classified into four types of processes, i.e. word imitating (subtest CELF-R); imitating, producing word, arranging word (subtest CELF-3); expressing word, producing word, imitating word (subtest CELF-4); and continuing and mentioning word.

KEMAMPUAN EKSPRESIF ANAK AUTISME: SEBUAH KAJIAN PSIKOLINGUISTIK
Abstrak
Kemampuan ekspresif adalah kemampuan bahasa secara verbal untuk saling berinteraksi. Anak autisme yang mampu dalam kemampuan ekspresif menandakan bahwa kemampuan reseptifnya sudah bekerja efektif. Tujuan penelitian adalah menjelaskan proses ujaran dari kemampuan ekspresif anak autisme. Data dalam bentuk tuturan yang dihasilkan anak autisme sebagai respons terhadap tuturan pemancing yang dilontarkan guru dikumpulkan dengan cara direkam dan ditranskripsi. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis untuk diklasifikasikan sesuai dengan jenis proses tuturan tersebut dihasilkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tuturan yang dihasilkan para anak autisme itu dapat diklasifikasikan dalam empat jenis proses produksi, yaitu menirukan kata (subtest CELF-R); menirukan, membuat kata, menyusun kata (subtest CELF-3); mengungkapkan kata, membuat kata, menirukan kata (subtest CELF-4); dan melanjutkan dan menyebutkan kata.
