  • Title: Pragmatics and SLI: within-group variations in discourse behaviors.
    Author: Craig HK, Evans JL.
    Journal: J Speech Hear Res; 1993 Aug; 36(4):777-89. PubMed ID: 8377490.
    Abstract:
    Selected discourse behaviors of children with specific language impairment (SLI) presenting expressive (E:SLI) or combined expressive-receptive deficits (E-R:SLI) were compared to each other and to chronological age-mates and younger mean length of utterance (MLU)-matched children with normal-language skills. The two SLI subgroups varied from each other on specific measures of turn-taking and cohesion. These findings imply the need for future normative work with SLI subgroups differing in receptive skill, and indicate that, in the interim, pragmatic research with this population will need to consider potential effects of receptive language status when interpreting variations in outcomes for discourse-based variables.
