Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mengisidou, Maria; Marshall, Chloë R.; Stavrakaki, Stavroula – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Children with dyslexia and/or developmental language disorder (hereafter children with DDLD) have been reported to retrieve fewer words than their typically developing (TD) peers in semantic fluency tasks. It is not known whether this retrieval difficulty can be attributed to the semantic structure of their lexicon being poor or,…

Pronoun Comprehension in Individuals with Down Syndrome: The Role of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sanoudaki, Eirini; Varlokosta, Spyridoula – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2015
Background: A number of studies have suggested that language in individuals with Down syndrome (DS) may not be simply delayed compared with language in typically developing (TD) children, but deviant. The deviance has been detected in the comprehension of pronouns, and it has triggered proposals for the existence of a specific syntactic deficit in…
