Hadley, Pamela A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This review article summarizes programmatic research on sentence diversity in toddlers developing language typically and explores developmental patterns of sentence diversity in toddlers at risk for specific language impairment. Method: The first half of this review article presents a sentence-focused approach to language assessment and…

Sumanth, P.; Ravi, Sunil Kumar; Abhishek, B. P. – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
Language is a major tool for an individual to communicate. The phonological & morpho-syntactic components are involved in functions of language processing & executions. Case marker is one of the morpho-syntatic feature, which describes the abstract meaning of the grammatical components of nouns & verbs and in formation of meaningful…

Stegenwallner-Schütz, Maja; Adani, Flavia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study examines the contribution of number morphology to language comprehension abilities among children with specific language impairment (SLI) and age-matched controls. It addresses the question of whether number agreement facilitates the comprehension accuracy of object-initial declarative sentences. According to the predictions of…

Koukoulioti, Vasiliki; Stavrakaki, Stavroula; Konstantinopoulou, Eleni; Ioannidis, Panagiotis – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Language production in semantic dementia (SD) is characterized by a lexical-semantic deficit and largely preserved argument structure and inflection production. This study investigates (a) the effect of argument structure on verb retrieval and (b) the interrelation between inflection marking and verb retrieval in SD. Method: Seven…

Harun, Mohammad – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2020
Research on agrammatism has revealed that the nature of linguistic impairment is systematic and interpretable. Non-canonical sentences are more impaired than those of canonical sentences. Previous studies on Japanese (Hiroshi et al. 2004; Chujo 1983; Tamaoka et al. 2003; Nakayama 1995) report that aphasic patients take longer Response Time (RT)…

Kapantzoglou, Maria; Fergadiotis, Gerasimos; Restrepo, M. Adelaida – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: This study examined whether the language sample elicitation technique (i.e., storytelling and story-retelling tasks with pictorial support) affects lexical diversity (D), grammaticality (grammatical errors per communication unit [GE/CU]), sentence length (mean length of utterance in words [MLUw]), and sentence complexity (subordination…

Hadley, Pamela A. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2014
Purpose: In this response to Kamhi (2014), a sentence-focused framework is presented to help clinicians select treatment targets as part of a comprehensive approach to early grammatical intervention. Method: The literature on the relationship between lexical verbs, sentence structure, and tense/agreement morphemes is reviewed, and developmental…

Ambridge, Ben; Bannard, Colin; Jackson, Georgina H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) aged 11-13 (N = 16) and an IQ-matched typically developing (TD) group aged 7-12 (N = 16) completed a graded grammaticality judgment task, as well as a standardized test of cognitive function. In a departure from previous studies, the judgment task involved verb argument structure overgeneralization…

Letts, Carolyn; Edwards, Susan; Schaefer, Blanca; Sinka, Indra – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2014
This article describes the development of new scales for assessing the status of a young child's language comprehension and production. Items and sections on the scales were included to reflect advances in research on language acquisition and impairment. The New Reynell Developmental Language Scales (NRDLS) were trialled on 301 children and then…

Bedore, Lisa M.; Pena, Elizabeth D.; Gillam, Ronald B.; Ho, Tsung-Han – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2010
Measures of productivity and sentence organization are useful metrics for quantifying language development and language impairments in monolingual and bilingual children. It is not yet known what measures within and across languages are most informative when evaluating the language skills of bilingual children. The purpose of this study was to…

Finneran, Denise A.; Leonard, Laurence B.; Miller, Carol A. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2009
Background: Many school-age children with specific language impairment produce sentences that appear to conform to the adult grammar. It may be premature to conclude from this, however, that their language formulation ability is age appropriate. Aims: To determine whether a more subtle measure of language use, speech disruptions during sentence…

Stadie, Nicole; Schroder, Astrid; Postler, Jenny; Lorenz, Antje; Swoboda-Moll, Maria; Burchert, Frank; De Bleser, Ria – Brain and Language, 2008
Agrammatism is--among others, characterized by a deficit in producing grammatical structures. Of specific difficulty is the utilization of complex, non-canonical sentence structures (e.g. object-questions, passives, object-clefts). Several studies have documented positive effects when applying a specific treatment protocol in terms of increasingly…

Loeb, Diane Frome; Pye, Clifton; Richardson, Lori Zobel; Redmond, Sean – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
This study evaluated the ability of 21 children (ages 5 and 6) with specific language impairment (SLI) to use verbs which can alternate between transitive and intransitive contexts to indicate or relinquish cause. SLI children were proficient in lexically alternating verbs, yet provided fewer passive and periphrastic constructions and more…

O'Grady, William; Lee, Miseon – Brain and Language, 2005
This paper offers evidence for the Isomorphic Mapping Hypothesis, which holds that individuals with agrammatic aphasia tend to have difficulty comprehending sentences in which the order of NPs is not aligned with the structure of the corresponding event. We begin by identifying a set of constructions in English and Korean for which the IMH makes…

Rigalleau, Francois; Baudiffier, Vanessa; Caplan, David – Brain and Language, 2004
Three French-speaking agrammatic aphasics and three French-speaking Conduction aphasics were tested for comprehension of Active, Passive, Cleft-Subject, Cleft-Object, and Cleft-Object sentences with Stylistic Inversion using an object manipulation test. The agrammatic patients consistently reversed thematic roles in the latter sentence type, and…
