Prutting, Carol A.; Kirchner, Diane M.
Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v52 n2 p105-19 May 1987
A study was conducted to test the utility of a protocol, consisting of 30 pragmatic parameters of language, to evaluate conversational speech from 157 subjects in six diagnostic groups. Four distinct profiles emerged separating the diagnostic groups within which differences in the distribution of pragmatic deficits were identified. (Author/KM)
