Knowledge of Binding in Normal and SLI Children.

Franks, Steven L.; Connell, Phil J.

Journal of Child Language, v23 n2 p431-64 Jun 1996

Normal and Specific Language Impaired (SLI) children were tested for evidence of the binding domain and orientation properties of their grammars. Results suggest that normal children acquiring English pass through a long-distance binding stage, whereas SLI children behave like very young normal children in requiring the nearest available noun phrase to be the antecedent.
