The Use of Stress by Language-Impaired Children.

Hargrove, Patricia M.; Sheran, Christina P.

Journal of Communication Disorders, v22 n5 p361-73 Oct 1989

The stressing patterns of five preschool language-impaired children were investigated. Analysis of two-word utterances in language samples found that three subjects tended to stress words based on their position in the utterance; one child stressed words based on informativeness; and one of the subjects' preferences was unclear.
