Use of Brown's 14 Grammatical Morphemes by Bilingual Hispanic Preschoolers: A Pilot Study.
Bland-Stewart, Linda M.; Fitzgerald, Suzette M.
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v22 n4 p171-86 Sum 2001
This pilot study investigated Standard American English (SAE) morphological development for 15 bilingual Hispanic preschoolers. Analysis of data from spontaneous language samples revealed emergent use of Brown's (1973) 14 grammatical morphemes. Because mastery generally was later than for SAE speakers, clinicians are urged to use caution when applying SAE normative data to bilingual Spanish-speaking children. (Contains references.)
