  • Genome-Wide Mapping of Consanguineous Families Confirms Previously Implicated Gene Loci and Suggests New Loci in Specific Language Impairment (SLI)

    Open AccessAdnan Yousaf, Huma Hafeez et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    Specific language impairment (SLI) is a developmental disorder with substantial genetic contributions. A genome-wide linkage analysis and homozygosity mapping were performed in five consanguineous families from Pakistan. The highest LOD scores of 2.49 at 12p11.22-q11.21 in family PKSLI-31 and 1.92 at 6p in family PKSLI-20 were observed. Homozygosity mapping showed a loss of heterozygosity on 1q25.3-q32.2 and 2q36.3-q37.3 in PKSLI-20. A loss of he…

  • Innovative Family-Based Genetically Informed Series of Analyses of Whole-Exome Data Supports Likely Inheritance for Grammar in Children with Specific Language Impairment

    Open AccessErin M Andres, Kathleen Kelsey Earnest et al.ARTICLEChildren2023

    Individuals with specific language impairment (SLI) struggle with language acquisition despite average non-verbal intelligence and otherwise typical development. One SLI account focuses on grammar acquisition delay. The current study aimed to detect novel rare genetic variants associated with performance on a grammar assessment, the Test of Early Grammatical Impairment (TEGI), in English-speaking children. The TEGI was selected due to its sensiti…

  • The interface between neighborhood density and optional infinitives

    Open AccessJILL R HOOVER, Holly L Storkel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2012

    The effect of neighborhood density on optional infinitives was evaluated for typically developing (TD) children and children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). Forty children, twenty in each group, completed two production tasks that assessed third person singular production. Half of the sentences in each task presented a dense verb, and half presented a sparse verb. Children's third person singular accuracy was compared across dense and sp…

  • Toward Tense as a Clinical Marker of Specific Language Impairment in English-Speaking Children

    Mabel L Rice, Kenneth WexlerARTICLEJournal of Speech, Language, and…1996

    A critical clinical issue is the identification of a clinical marker, a linguistic form or principle that can be shown to be characteristic of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). In this paper we evaluate, as candidate clinical markers, a set of morphemes that mark Tense. In English, this includes - s third person singular, - ed regular past, BE , and DO . According to the Extended Optional Infinitive Account (EOI) of Rice, Wexler, …

  • Specific Language Impairment as a Period of Extended Optional Infinitive

    Mabel L Rice, Kenneth Wexler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Speech, Language, and…1995

    English-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) are known to have particular difficulty with the acquisition of grammatical morphemes that carry tense and agreement features, such as the past tense -ed and third-person singular present - s . In this study, an Extended Optional Infinitive (EOI) account of SLI is evaluated. In this account, - ed, -s, BE , and DO are regarded as finiteness markers. This model predicts that finitene…

  • Verb use by language-impaired and normally developing children

    Open AccessRuth V Watkins, Mabel L Rice et al.ARTICLEFirst Language1993

    This study examined verb use in a group of preschool-age children with language impairments and two control groups of normally developing children. The specific questions of the study involved the diversity of the language-impaired children's verb lexicons relative to their age- and language-matched counterparts, and the presence of similar frequently used, multipurpose verb forms in both samples. Analysis of transcript data revealed that while l…

  • Gaps in the verb lexicons of children with specific language impairment

    Open AccessMabel L Rice, John V Bode et al.ARTICLEFirst Language1993

    This is a study of the verb lexicons of three preschool boys with specific language impairment. The database was a corpus of 5486 spontaneous utterances collected over a 3-month period. The children relied heavily on a small set of General All-Purpose (GAP) verbs to fill the verb functions. Their overall verb error rate was very low (2% of their utterances). In general, their verb usage conformed to expected rules of form class assignment and arg…

  • Maltreated children's language and speech development

    Open AccessRex E Culp, Ruth V Watkins et al.ARTICLEFirst Language1991

    Seventy-four preschool-age maltreated children's receptive and expressive language, speech skills, general language and cognitive abilities were assessed to investigate the language, speech and cognitive skills of abused, neglected, and abused and neglected children. While all three groups were delayed, neglect was the type of maltreatment most strongly associated with both expressive and receptive language delays and overall language delay. The …

  • Girls' excuses

    Marie A Sell, Mabel L RiceARTICLEDiscourse Processes1988References: 4

    Linguistic content of elementary‐school‐aged girls' excuses was investigated to examine the effects of severity of violation and recipient of explanation. Both severity and recipient influenced excuses. Developmental trends were evident regarding the girls' ability to use social conventions. First graders used significantly more single apologies than either fourth or seventh graders. As the girls got older they used more repair components in each…

  • Television as a talking picture book

    Open AccessDafna Lemish, Michael L Connell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language1986

    This study provides longitudinal observations of young children's behaviours while viewing television in their own homes, over a time when the children were actively involved in the process of language acquisition. Sixteen children were observed for a period ranging from 0; 6 to 0;8. At the beginning, their ages ranged from 0; 6.15 to 5.15; at the end, from 1; 2.15 to 3;0. The observations yielded documentation of an overwhelming and consistent o…
