Artis, Jonet; Arunachalam, Sudha – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The goal of this work was to examine the semantic and syntactic properties of the vocabularies of autistic and non-autistic infants and toddlers to see if children in these two groups know different kinds of words. We focused on both receptive and expressive vocabularies. For expressive vocabulary, we looked only at the "active"…

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)…

Elma Blom; Paula Fikkert; Annette Scheper; Merel van Witteloostuijn; Petra van Alphen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This study compares the home language environments of children with (a suspicion of) developmental language disorder (DLD) with that of children with typical development (TD). It does so by adopting new technology that automatically provides metrics about children's language environment (Language ENvironment Analysis [LENA]). In addition,…

Girolamo, Teresa; Rice, Mabel L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Little is known about the specific nature of language abilities of autistic adolescents and young adults with language impairment (LI), limiting our knowledge of developmental trajectories and ability to develop efficacious speech/language supports. An important first step is establishing proof of concept of identification of LI in this…

Yarian, Marley; Washington, Karla N.; Spencer, Caroline E.; Vannest, Jennifer; Crowe, Kathryn – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2021
Predictors of expressive grammar were compared in formal and naturalistic assessment tasks for children with typically developing (TD) language and with Developmental Langauge Disorder (DLD). Standardized expressive language assessments were administered to 110 preschoolers. The parents of these children reported whether or not they were concerned…

Obeid, Rita; Brooks, Patricia J. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: We aimed to determine whether individual differences in manual dexterity are associated with specific language skills (nonword repetition, receptive vocabulary, and receptive grammar) after controlling for nonverbal abilities (visual-spatial working memory and intelligence). Method: We assessed manual dexterity using the pegboard task and…

van Alphen, Petra; Brouwer, Susanne; Davids, Nina; Dijkstra, Emma; Fikkert, Paula – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study compares online word recognition and prediction in preschoolers with (a suspicion of) a developmental language disorder (DLD) and typically developing (TD) controls. Furthermore, it investigates correlations between these measures and the link between online and off-line language scores in the DLD group. Method: Using the…

Purpose: Developmental language disorder (DLD), defined by low language performance despite otherwise normal development, can negatively impact children's social and academic outcomes. This study is the 1st to examine DLD in Vietnamese. To lay the foundation, we identified cases of DLD in Vietnam and explored language-specific characteristics of…

Rakhlin, Natalia V.; Li, Nan; Aljughaiman, Abdullah; Grigorenko, Elena L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: We examined indices of narrative microstructure as metrics of language development and impairment in Arabic-speaking children. We examined their age sensitivity, correlations with standardized measures, and ability to differentiate children with average language and language impairment. Method: We collected story narratives from 177…

Calder, Samuel D; Claessen, Mary; Leitão, Suze – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2018
Children with Developmental Language Disorder are likely to experience difficulties with morphosyntax, especially regular past tense marking. Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of intervention to improve morphosyntax in young school-aged children with DLD. This study investigated the efficacy of combined explicit and implicit…

Smolík, Filip; Vávru, Petra – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2014
Purpose: The authors examined sentence imitation as a potential clinical marker of specific language impairment (SLI) in Czech and its use to identify grammatical markers of SLI. Method: Children with SLI and the age-and language-matched control groups (total N = 57) were presented with a sentence imitation task, a receptive vocabulary task, and…

Jordan, Julie-Ann; Coulter, Lorraine – Child Care in Practice, 2017
Speech and language ability is not a unitary concept; rather, it is made up of multiple abilities such as grammar, articulation and vocabulary. Young children from socio-economically deprived areas are more likely to experience language difficulties than those living in more affluent areas. However, less is known about individual differences in…

Brekke Stangeland, Elisabeth; Lundetrae, Kjersti; Reikerås, Elin – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2018
A body of studies, which are mostly based on parental reports, have documented gender differences in early language proficiency, and girls tend to outperform boys in both language production and language comprehension. In this study, staff in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care institutions observed language comprehension, word…

Leroy, Sandrine; Parisse, Christophe; Maillart, Christelle – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2013
Several studies provide considerable insight into the role that frequency plays in language development. However, no study has investigated the direct relationship between frequency and grammatical acquisition in children with specific language impairment (SLI). In this study, we focus specifically on the influence of the frequency of functional…

Ebbels, Susan – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2014
This article summarizes the evidence as regards the effectiveness of therapy for grammar for school-aged children with language impairments. I first review studies focusing on specific areas of grammar (both expressive and receptive targets) and then studies aiming to improve language more generally, several of which focus more on the…
