Normal Variation and Prediction of Mean Length of Utterance From Chronological Age.

Meline, Timothy J.; Meline, Nannette C.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v53 n2 p376-78 Oct 1981

The variation of mean length of utterance, a linguistic measure, is explored among 50 normally developing three-, four-, and five-year-olds. It is suggested that mean length of utterance, as a measure of language status, is limited in differentiating language-impaired from normally developing children. (Author/SJL)
