Smith, Tina T.; Myers-Jennings, Corine; Coleman, Thalia
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v21 n2 p98-113 Win 2000
A study examined the extent to which linguistic variation in the English language might have been affecting the performance of 160 rural preschoolers in South Carolina. When dialectal variations were not considered, the performance of the children differed from that of the normative populations on tests that assessed grammatical morphemes. (Contains references.)
