Dispaldro, Marco; Leonard, Laurence B.; Deevy, Patricia – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2013
Background: In many languages a weakness in non-word repetition serves as a useful clinical marker of specific language impairment (SLI) in children. However, recent work in Italian has shown that the repetition of real words may also have clinical utility. For young typically developing Italian children, real word repetition is more predictive of…

Bigozzi, Lucia; Tarchi, Christian; Pezzica, Sara; Pinto, Giuliana – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
The strong differences in manifestation, prevalence, and incidence in dyslexia across languages invite studies in specific writing systems. In particular, the question of the role played by emergent literacy in opaque and transparent writing systems remains a fraught one. This research project tested, through a 4-year prospective cohort study, an…
