This provides us with the opportunity to compare directly the syntactic and semantic constraints during second language (L2) sentence…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Owen, Amanda J.; Leonard, Laurence B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
The purpose of this study was to explore whether 13 children with specific language impairment (SLI; ages 5;1-8;0 [years;months]) were as proficient as typically developing age- and vocabulary-matched children in the production of finite and nonfinite complement clauses. Preschool children with SLI have marked difficulties with verb-related…
