Karolina Wieczorek; Megan DeGroot; Heather Ganshorn; Susan A. Graham – Child Development, 2025
Research examining relations between language skills and social competence has yielded mixed findings. Three meta-analyses investigated links between language skills (overall, receptive, and expressive) and social competence in 2- to 12-year-old children. Data from 130 studies representing 62,120 children (M age at language assessment = 4.70…

Mario Figueroa; Sònia Darbra – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2025
Background: The evidence on the effect of age on the receptive and expressive language skills of individuals with Down syndrome is inconclusive. Recent research highlights the relevance of having tools to detect age-related changes in language skills. Method: Data were collected on 45 adults with Down syndrome. All were assessed with the Peabody…

Anna Harvey; Helen Spicer-Cain; Nicola Botting; Lucy Henry – First Language, 2025
Spoken narrative skills are crucial to the social and academic success of young people; however, research indicates that this may be an area of challenge for autistic adolescents. Most previous studies have used narrative elicitation tasks that incorporate visual support, and little is known about how autistic adolescents perform on less…

Jongmin Jung; Eon-Suk Ko – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: This study evaluates the impact of temporal synchrony between maternal touch and speech on children's early language development. It investigates whether the proportion of word-touch co-occurrence, overlap, and alignment precision in maternal input influences language acquisition, hypothesizing that such synchrony boosts infants'…

Lue Shen; Anfeng Xu; Lindsay K. Butler; Karen Chenausky; Marc Maffei; Shrikanth Narayanan; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Conversational latency entails the temporal feature of turn-taking, which is understudied in autistic children. The current study investigated the influences of child-based and parental factors on conversational latency in autistic children with heterogeneous spoken language abilities. Method: Participants were 46 autistic children aged…

David O'Reilly; Luling Yan – Applied Linguistics, 2025
The present study continues research that takes non-serious language more seriously (Cekaite and Aronsson 2005) by focusing on a central second language (L2) Metaphoric Competence factor, Metaphor Language Play (MLP). For willing learners, MLP offers a diversity of benefits (Bushnell 2009; Bell 2012a) despite being one of the most challenging…

Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine potential mediators of the relationship between developmental language disorder (DLD) status and executive function performance. Method: Participants included preschoolers, of whom 80 met the diagnostic criteria for DLD and 103 were categorized as having typical language abilities. Participants'…

Jennifer Zuk; Kelsey E. Davison; Laura A. Doherty; Brittany L. Manning; Lauren S. Wakschlag; Elizabeth S. Norton – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: A rich body of evidence has illuminated the importance of caregivers' use of prosody in facilitating young children's language development. Although caregiver-child shared reading has been repeatedly linked to children's language skills, caregiver prosody during shared reading interactions (i.e., oral reading expressiveness) has been…

Victoria Lowther; Lorna Gravenstede – Deafness & Education International, 2025
It is established that a greater rate of conversational turns (CTs) is associated with improved language outcomes for hearing children (HC). This study investigates the number of CTs experienced by deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children and HC--a total of 10 children matched for age, gender and Special Educational Needs (SEN) in an Early Years…

Camilla E. Crawshaw; Carina Lüke; Ute Ritterfeld – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Prior work has found that "late talkers" (LTs) as a group continue to demonstrate lower language and reading outcomes compared to their typically developing (TD) peers even into young adulthood. Others identified that children diagnosed with developmental language disorder (DLD) show difficulties later with theory of mind (ToM)…

Lina Abed Ibrahim – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: To avoid misdiagnosis with developmental language disorder (DLD) in bilingual children, it is recommended to evaluate both languages. However, unlike their monolingual peers, bilingual children acquire their heritage language under adverse input conditions. Focusing on Levantine Arabic, the study evaluates the clinical utility of a…

Marc F. Maffei; Karen V. Chenausky; Helen Tager-Flusberg; Jordan R. Green – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Despite known motor and spoken language impairments in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the motor skills underlying speech production and their relationship with language skills have rarely been directly investigated in this population. Method: Thirty-nine autistic children (14 minimally verbal [MV], 25 verbal [V]) and 11 non-autistic…

Chelsea La Valle; Gabriela Davila Mejia; Carol L. Wilkinson; Nicole Baumer – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Toddlers with Down syndrome (DS) showcase comparable or higher rates of gestures than chronological age-- and language-matched toddlers without DS. Little is known about how gesture use in toddlers with DS relates to multiple domains of development, including motor, pragmatics, language, and visual reception (VR) skills. Unexplored is…

Adriana Soto-Corominas; Marta Segura; Helena Roquet; Noelia Navarro; Yagmur Elif Met – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2025
Research on the effects of bilingualism on third language (L3) development set in bilingual communities is scarce, outdated, and has provided mixed results. This study investigated the effects of exposure and age of onset of acquisition (AOA) of L3-English, as well as first and second language (L1/L2) skills and use, in the development of…
