Story Grammar Ability in Children with and without Language Disorder: Story Generation, Story Retelling, and Story Comprehension.

Merritt, Donna DiSegna; Liles, Betty Z.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v30 n4 p539-52 Dec 1987

Twenty language-impaired and 20 unimpaired children, aged 9-11, generated and retold stories and answered comprehension questions. The stories produced by language-disordered children contained fewer complete story episodes, fewer main and subordinate clauses per complete episode, and a lower frequency of use of story grammar components than those of the controls.
