Stylistic Variations in Requesting: How Does the Language/Learning Disabled Adolescent Fare?
Schwean, V. L.
Canadian Journal of Special Education, v8 n1 p70-83 1992
Eighteen language/learning-disabled adolescents were compared with 18 nondisabled adolescents and 18 linguistically matched nondisabled preadolescents on requesting assistance from listeners who vary in power and familiarity. The language learning-disabled adolescents were sensitive to social and contextual features and modified their requests appropriately but exhibited developmental delay at articulating their social awareness.
