Instrument adaptation for measuring early child language development across multilingual and sociocultural diverse settings
This article describes the adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) for South Africa's 11 official spoken languages. The CDI is a parent-report tool that measures early language development from 8 to 30 months. We developed cross-linguistically comparable CDIs, representing two distinct language families, West Germanic and southern Bantu, using a common protocol. We describe our approach to item construction and…
A Crosslinguistic Study of Gesture and Lexical Development in South African Infants
This study compares early gesture and lexical development in 1,199 infants (0;8–1;6) across South Africa’s 11 official spoken languages using the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory: Words and Gestures. We examined the effect of age, sex, ecological (urban-rural) setting, and maternal level of education (MLE) on early language development. Age was a significant predictor of gesture, comprehension, and production. There was no evid…
Digital health literacy among people with bipolar disorder in Germany – a cross-sectional survey
DHL in BD is not uniformly lower compared to the general population, underlining the feasibility of digital interventions as a promising pillar of care. At the same time, substantial heterogeneity highlights the need for routine DHL screening and tailored support for subgroups with lower skills. Future interventions and studies should systematically stratify by DHL level and target higher-order skills such as evaluating reliability and decision-m…
The creation of interlingual subtitles
Equivalence is a notion central to translation studies, and as such, also to the theory of interlingual subtitling. However, this aspect has never been the focus of a study on interlingual subtitling, while much attention has been given to condensation, another aspect central to subtitling. This article will attempt to balance equivalence and condensation in a theory for the creation of interlingual subtitles. The theoretical framework that will …
