Tattersall, Patricia J.; Nelson, Nickola Wolf; Tyler, Ann A. – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2015
Prior research has shown possible relations among nonword repetition (NWR), vocabulary, and phonological processing skills in children with and without language impairment. This study was designed to investigate whether relationships would differ for students with primary language impairment (PLI) and typical language (TL) and whether they would…

Dockrell, Julie E.; Connelly, Vincent – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
Children with specific language impairments (SLI) have difficulties in producing written text. It was hypothesised that the constraints on writing in children with SLI were similar to typically developing younger children with the same level of vocabulary knowledge. Twenty-three children with SLI (aged 10:5) were matched with 23 children for…

Burrows, Lauren; Goldstein, Brian A. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
Phonological acquisition traditionally has been measured using constructs that focus on segments rather than the whole words. Findings from recent research have suggested whole-word productions be evaluated using measures such as phonological mean length of utterance (pMLU) and the proportion of whole-word proximity (PWP). These measures have been…
