Grammatical Morpheme Production in 4-Year-Old Children.

Balason, Denise V.; Dollaghan, Christine A.

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v45 n5 p961-69 Oct 2002

Grammatical morpheme (GM) production was studied in 15-minute spontaneous language samples from 100 4-year-olds. Substantial variability was observed in both the frequency of obligatory contexts and in the percentages of correct usage of GM. For only one morpheme did all 100 participants contain the minimum number of 3 obligatory contexts. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
