Pathways from the early language and communication environment to literacy outcomes at the end of primary school; the roles of language development and social development
The quality of a child’s early language and communication environment (ELCE) is an important predictor of later educational outcomes. However, less is known about the routes via which these early experiences influence the skills that support academic achievement. Using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (n = 7,120) we investigated relations between ELCE (<2 years), literacy and social adjustment at school entry (5 years…
Developmental language disorders and risk of recidivism among young offenders
BACKGROUND: Although factors such as adverse family background have been widely examined, little is known about the prevalence or potential impact of developmental language disorder (DLD) on risk of recidivism in young people with history of criminal justice system contact. METHODS: A total of 145 young offenders participated. An adversity score was constructed based on information found in youth justice service records. Data collected included s…
Health, employment and relationships: Correlates of personal wellbeing in young adults with and without a history of childhood language impairment
Similarities on ratings of wellbeing by young adults with and without a history of LI can mask heterogeneity and important differences. Young adults with a history of LI are more vulnerable to the effects of health, employment and relationship status on their wellbeing than their peers
Tense over time: Testing the Agreement/Tense Omission Model as an account of the pattern of tense-marking provision in early child English
The Agreement/Tense Omission Model (ATOM) predicts that English-speaking children will show similar patterns of provision across different tense-marking morphemes (Rice, Wexler & Hershberger, 1998). The aim of the present study was to test this prediction by examining provision rates for third person singular present tense and first and third person singular forms of copula BE and auxiliary BE in longitudinal data from eleven English-speaking chi…
The acquisition of past tense in preschool children with specific language impairment and unaffected controls: Regular and Irregular Forms
Article The acquisition of past tense in preschool children with specific language impairment and unaffected controls: regular and irregular forms was published on January 10, 2003 in the journal Linguistics (volume 41, issue 2)
Development of copula and auxiliary BE in children with Specific Language Impairment and younger unaffected controls
Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) have well-known difficulties with the obligatory use of verbal tense-marking morphology which they use optionally for a longer period of time than typically developing children. Copula BE and auxiliary BE are two tense markers that have been shown to be problematic for children with SLI, but their status as independent allomorphs is somewhat controversial in the literature. In the present study we …
Psycholinguistic Markers for Specific Language Impairment (SLI)
In this study 160 children, aged 11 years with a definite history of specific language impairment (SLI), completed four tasks that could be potential positive psycholinguistic markers for this impairment: a third person singular task, a past tense task, a nonword repetition task, and a sentence repetition task. This allowed examination of more than one type of marker simultaneously, facilitating both comparisons between markers and also evaluatio…
Bilingual Children with Specific Language Impairment and Standardized Assessments: Preliminary Findings from a Study of Children in Language Units
This paper focuses on a group of bilingual children within a large cohort of children with specific language impairment (SLI) attending language units attached to mainstream primary schools across England. Comparison of the bilingual children with their monolingual peers revealed differential performance on standardized speech and language assessment measures. Further analysis suggested that children with semantic and/or pragmatic difficulties pe…

A comparison of verb use in children with SLI and their younger siblings
The present longitudinal study examined the use of verbs at the early stages of expressive language development by children with specific language impairment (SLI). Three children with SLI and their younger normal language learning siblings were videotaped during mother-child interactions in the home over a 2-year period. At the beginning of the study both the child with SLI and the younger sibling appeared to be in the same stage of expressive l…

Young children's conversations with their mothers and fathers: Differences in breakdown and repair
In this study we compared the conversations of mothers and fathers with their children at 1;3 and 159, with special attention to breakdown-repair sequences. We found that, overall, children and secondary caregiver fathers experienced more communicative breakdowns than did children and primary caregiver mothers. More specifically, fathers requested clarification of their children more often than did mothers, and they most often used a non-specific…
Proper name usage: Mother-child interactions with language-impaired and non-language-impaired children
The use by adults of third person forms, especially proper names, to address their children and to refer to themselves has been a feature of parentese which has incited debate as to what motivates these speech adjustments. Some researchers continue to support the posi tion that this adjustment like others is facilitative for the learning of language while others have argued that it is a source of confusion and inconsistency for the child. The pre…
