Peer reviewedRice, Mabel L.; Wexler, Kenneth – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1996
Comparison of the speech of 37 preschool children with speech-language impairment (SLI), 40 language-matched children, and 45 age-matched children found that errors in a set of morphemes marking tense characterized the SLI children. Evidence supporting the use of these morphemes as clinical markers for SLI is offered. (DB)
