Cardoso-Martins, Claudia; Mervis, Carolyn B. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
The speech of mothers of six children with Down syndrome was compared to that of mothers of nonretarded children, when subjects were aged 17-38 months. No significant differences were observed between the two groups for either proportion of substantive deixis or proportion of nouns (as opposed to pronouns). (Author/JDD)
