Specific Language Impairment as a Period of Extended Optional Infinitive.
Rice, Mabel L.; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v38 n4 p850-63 Aug 1995
This study evaluated an Extended Optional Infinitive theory of specific language impairment (SLI) in children, which suggests that SLI children omit finiteness markers longer than do normally developing children. Comparison of 18 SLI 5-year olds with 2 normally developing groups (ages 5 and 3) found that SLI subjects omitted finiteness markers more often than either comparison group. (Author/DB)
