Lexical Word Formation in Children with Grammatical SLI: A Grammar-Specific versus an Input-Processing Deficit?
van der Lely, Heather K. J.; Christian, Valerie
Cognition, v75 n1 p33-63 Apr 14 2000
Compared the production of inflections for compound nouns among 10- to 18-year-olds with grammatical specific language impairment (G-SLI) with that of normally developing peers. Found that all groups produced irregular plural nouns in compounds (e.g., mice-eater). Normally developing subjects rarely produced regular plural nouns inside compounds (rats-eater), whereas G-SLI subjects often did so. (Author/KB)
