O'Toole, Ciara; Hickey, Tina M. – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2013
Diagnosing specific language impairment (SLI) in monolingual children is a complex task, with some controversy regarding criteria. Diagnosis of SLI in bilinguals is made more complex by the lack of standardized assessments and poor understanding of clinical markers in languages other than English. There is an added complexity when one of the…

Some, but not all, of…

It has been suggested…

Giannakopoulou, Anastasia; Uther, Maria; Ylinen, Sari – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2013
Speech sounds that contain multiple phonetic cues are often difficult for foreign-language learners, especially if certain cues are weighted differently in the foreign and native languages. Greek adult and child speakers of English were studied to determine the effect of native language on second-language (L2) cue weighting and, in particular, to…
