我们考察了有特殊语言障碍(SLI)的学龄前英语儿童的语法词法使用情况，这是由于他们相对于一组发育正常的学龄前儿童的词汇多样性，这些儿童对限定动词词法的使用落后于他们使用的不同动词的数量。基于整体词汇多样性，与名词相关的词法低于预期。ND儿童和SLI儿童在限定动词形态增加的斜率上也存在差异，这是词汇多样性的函数，SLI数据中的斜率较浅。这项研究的发现补充了现有的证据，表明有限的语法-词法使用作为英语SLI的临床标记是有希望的。
We examined the use of grammatical morphology by preschool-age English-speaking children with specific language impairment (SLI) as a function of their lexical diversity Relative to a group of normally developing (ND) preschoolers, these children's use of finite-verb morphology lagged behind expectations based on the number of different verbs they used. Noun-related morphology fell below expectations based on overall lexical diversity. Differences between the ND children and children with SLI were also seen For the slope of the increases in finite-verb morphology as a function of lexical diversity, with shallower slopes in the SLI data. The Findings of this study add to existing evidence suggesting that a measure of finite grammatical-morphology use has promise as a clinical marker of SLI in English.
