Concludes that professionals assessing early language development must elaborate batteries specific to their programs and that tests will help give a comprehensive assessment. The TELD, when used with formal and informal measures of language development, provides useful information for classroom teachers and reading specialists. (NKA)

A study involving 144 elementary students in three groups - controls (no articulation errors), residual error (mean of five articulation errors), and multiple errors (mean of more than 15 errors) - supported the hypothesis that Ss in the multiple error group would demonstrate measurable deviations in language compared to those in residual error or…

The paper presents a case study of a language-impaired child who invented a unique morphologic rule for signaling the distinction between English singular and plural nouns. This example is offered as further support of a model of language acquisition that emphasizes the cognitive aspects underlying linguistic regularities in child language.…

Mothers told stories to their children, inserting questions under two conditions. In one situation, mothers were alone with their younger child; in the other, an older sibling was also present. It was concluded that the presence of older siblings may influence the language young children hear and produce. (Author/CL)

Research on the acquisition of language demonstrates that children can easily learn context-free grammatical structures and that children universally generate nonoccurring utterances. On the basis of this research, a prototype for instructing writing-disabled students is developed. (Author/CL)

The paper describes the linguistic/cognitive challenge of answering yes/no questions appropriately. The coping strategies of normally developing children are used as the basis for tutorial suggestions for intervention with the developmentally delayed. (Author/CL)

Studies are reviewed on the role of metalinguistic skills in acquiring communicative competence and implications are considered for language-disabled children. Normal and delayed development of metaprogmatics--or "talking about talking"--is traced with attention to performatives (the speakers's goals), presuppositions, and conversational…

A review of research on how cognition relates to language in children with language impairments discusses terminology and analyzes the basic mapping problem. Evidence for a variety of hypotheses related to the issue are examined. (CL)
