Eisenberg, Sarita L.; Guo, Ling-Yu – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2013
Purpose: This study compared the diagnostic accuracy of a general grammaticality measure (i.e., percentage grammatical utterance; PGU) to 2 less comprehensive measures of grammaticality--a measure that excluded utterances without a subject and/or main verb (i.e., percentage sentence point; PSP) and a measure that looked only at verb tense errors…

Guo, Ling-Yu; Van Horne, Amanda J. Owen; Tomblin, J. Bruce – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011

Individual data did not uniformly reflect these patterns. On the basis of the framework of the gradual morphosyntactic learning (GML)…
