Leonard, Laurence B.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1989
The study found that 8 language-impaired 3-year-old children were less likely than 10 normally developing children to apply unusual sound changes to words with the potential for homonymy, suggesting they are limited in their ability to capitalize on the phonetic regularities of language.

Camarata, Stephen M.; Schwartz, Richard G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1985
Action word and object word productions of 12 language-normal and language-impaired young children were examined. Results revealed that percentage of consonants produced correctly within the spontaneous speech of both groups was higher for object words. The production advantage for object words was maintained even when certain input factors were…

Cubelli, Roberto; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1988
The article proposes a reeducation program for conduction aphasics with reproductive difficulties. Program characteristics include analysis and manipulation of visual stimuli (written words and syllables), suppression of the compensation effect of the spared lexical-semantic system; and progressive increase in length and complexity of phonological…

Wing, Clara S. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1990
Five first grade language-impaired children were trained on the phonological and perceptual components of the retrieval process, segmenting words, manipulating word segments, and forming visual and auditory images. The children improved in naming untrained pictures, but five children whose training focused on semantic associations and organization…

Smith, Cheryl A. – Teacher Education and Special Education, 1991
The concept of language learning disability is discussed in terms of such language components as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics; input and output dimensions of language performance; information processing; and the social construction of meaning. (DB)

Levi, Gabriel; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Reading levels attained by two groups of language-disordered children at the end of the first year of school were compared. Results confirmed the association between reading disability and language disorders, and yielded group differences: reading achievement was associated with semantic and syntactic competencies.

Leonard, Laurence B. – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1979
Deals with an examination of available evidence concerning the speech of language impaired children, and an inspection of the evidence regarding other, nonlinguistic behaviors of these children that require related abilities in mental representation. (Author/MP)

Sparks, Richard; And Others – Annals of Dyslexia, 1989
A theoretical framework is presented for understanding difficulties in foreign language learning, based upon a linguistic coding model that hypothesizes deficits in phonological, syntactic, and semantic information processing. Incidence of linguistic coding problems in 22 college-enrolled or college-bound students who petitioned to have the…

Bryan, Tanis – 1978
The presentation reviews the empirical data concerning the existence and types of language problems experienced by learning disabled (LD) and reading disabled (RD) children. An introductory section provides criteria for classification as LD in research samples and a discussion of research data sources in the field of language assessment. Section…

Camarata, Stephen M.; Erwin, Lisa – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1988
A case study is presented in which a language impaired three-year-old used suprasegmental features to distinguish singular and plural forms in spontaneous speech. Acoustic analyses revealed that the suprasegmentals included various duration, fundamental frequency, and intensity parameters. Phonological, morphological, and psycholinguistic factors…

Wing, Clara S. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1982
A model of language abilities in matrix form is described in which areas of language ability are defined in terms of the effects of receptive and expressive language processes on four linguistic levels: phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. (Author)

Prutting, Carol A. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1979
The article presents a rationale for the application of a stage process model to provide speech clinicians with guidelines, based on complexity, for the content and sequencing of communicative behaviors to be used in planning remedial programs for children with language disorders. (Author/DLS)

Hoffman, Paul R. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1992
This response to EC 604 058 argues that Marc Fey's emphasis on language organization at the morpheme and word level is not efficacious with preschool children who show phonological delay and delayed semantic-syntactic development. A model of verbal communication which unites phonetic, phonological, and higher organizational levels and related…

Definitions are provided for the overall category of "communicative disorder," and "hearing disorder." In addition, definitions are provided for the following narrower categories: "voice disorder,""articulation disorder,""fluency disorder,""deaf," and "hard of hearing." Journal…

Menyuk, Paula – 1976
In this paper early and later development of knowledge of syntactic structures and this development in language-disordered children are reviewed. Theories that have been presented to account for syntactic development (cognitive, cognitive-semantic and social-environmental) are discussed. Early developmental data indicate that there is not a…
