Individual Differences in the Production of Word Classes in Eight Specific Language-Impaired Preschoolers.

Le Normand, M. T.; Chevrie-Muller, C.

Journal of Communication Disorders, v24 n5-6 p331-51 Oct-Dec 1991

Eight preschool children with specific language impairment (SLI) and 30 nonimpaired children were selected on the basis of specified mean length of utterance (MLU) ranges and compared on word class production. The high-MLU and low-MLU groups of SLI children could not be empirically differentiated based on their word class profiles, whereas the nonimpaired children could be. (Author/JDD)
