Montrul, Silvina – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2010
Recent studies of heritage speakers, many of whom possess incomplete knowledge of their family language, suggest that these speakers may be linguistically superior to second language (L2) learners only in phonology but not in morphosyntax. This study reexamines this claim by focusing on knowledge of clitic pronouns and word order in 24 L2 learners…

Kim, Young-Joo; Kim, Hyanghee; Song, Hong-Ki – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2003
Examines production of predicates by Korean agrammatic aphasic patients with respect to argument structure distribution of predicates. Analyzed narrative production and picture/scene description data elicited from three Broca's aphasic patients compared with matched controls. Focused on whether subjects have the same type difficulties that Kegl's…

Gildersleeve-Neumann, Christina E.; Davis, Barbara L.; MacNeilage, Peter F. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2000
Presents case studies of the production of fricatives, affricates, and liquids--late-developing consonants--in the babbling of infants in an English-speaking environment. These consonants are compared with early-developing consonants--stops, nasals, and glides. Results provide evidence for the frame dominance conception but suggests early rarity…

Manhardt, Joan; Rescorla, Leslie – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2002
Compared the oral narrative skills of 31 school-aged children diagnosed at 24 to 31 months with expressive language delay with those of 23 typically-developing peers. Suggests that the use of narrative structure may be a specific area of underachievement for late talkers, in addition to their continuing weakness in syntactic and lexical abilities,…

Montgomery, James W.; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1990
Investigates and compares the real-time language-processing abilities of language-impaired and normal children using a work recognition reaction time paradigm. Results showed that the language-impaired children used linguistic context to facilitate work recognition but were slower to do so than their normally developing peers. (38 references) (GLR)

Jones, Noel K. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1991
Explores the development in children of dual-level phonological processing. The study suggests that even language-delayed six year olds form underlying representations composed of morphophonemic segments. Differences in performance between the groups studied (first graders, young adults, language-delayed first graders) are discussed. (55…

Treiman, Rebecca; Bourassa, Derrick – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2000
To determine whether written spelling is superior to oral spelling for children in kindergarten through Grade 2, this study compared children's ability to spell real words and nonsense words orally and in writing. By first and second grade, written spellings were superior to oral spellings in both overall quality and representation of phonological…

Gartner, Gloria M.; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1993
Normally hearing children (aged 4--10) and hearing-impaired children (aged 6--14) were tested on word awareness skills, such as the distinction between words and their referents, and their ability to provide explicit definitions of word. Older children performed significantly better than younger children, and normally hearing children performed…

Nathan, Liz; Wells, Bill – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2001
Explores the hypothesis that children identified as having phonological processing problems may have difficulty processing a different accent. Children with speech difficulties were compared with matched controls on four measures of auditory processing. Children were presented with stimuli in their own accent and in an unfamiliar accent…

Thomas, Margaret – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1989
Reviews research on first- (L1) and second-language (L2) acquisition of English articles, and adds to this literature a study f a(n), the, and the null article in the speech of (n=30) second-language learners. Both differences and similarities emerge between the L1 and L2 patterns of acquisition. (31 references) (Author/VWL)

Scarborough, Hollis S.; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1991
Examines mean length of utterance (MLU) in morphemes as a predictor of the grammatical complexity of the natural language corpora of normal preschoolers and of children and adolescents with delayed language, Fragile X Syndrome, Down Syndrome, and autism. (43 references) (GLR)

Streim, Nancy W.; Chapman, Robin S. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1987
When lexical availability was manipulated through discourse support and word frequency for 40 target nouns, measurement of effects on length, complexity, order of mention, and fluency of 4- to 8-year-olds' utterances showed that the number and length of responses containing the target word varied with age, word frequency, and discourse support…

Leonard, Laurence B.; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1988
Analysis of the spontaneous speech of English- and Italian-speaking children with specific language impairment indicated that word-final consonants adversely influenced Italian subjects' tendency to use articles. There was no evidence of syntactic differences between the language groups. (Author/CB)

Weiss, Amy L.; Johnson, Cynthia J. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1993
School-aged, hearing-impaired children's propensity for incorporating complex syntax into the narratives and conversations they produced was investigated. Language samples containing both conversations and narratives in the form of story retellings were collected from seven subjects with moderate-to-severe hearing losses. (48 references) (VWL)

Jeffery Pittam; John Ingram – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1992
Comparison of Vietnamese-Australians' perception and production of the English compound-phrasal contrast with that of native English-speaking Australians indicated that the number of syllables and consonant clusters alien to Vietnamese phonology and length of residence in Australia were major factors affecting the Vietnamese-Australians'…
