SLI: Specific Language Impairment; Language description; Text/Audio; Linguistics; Language Pathology; Speech PathologyAbstract
The semantic domain of spatial relations is at the center of attention in this study. A multitude of language data is collected to give insight into the linguistic abilities of children with SLI in general and into their linguistic expressions of spatial relations in particular. The purpose of the study is not only to describe the possible difficulties children with SLI experience when producing spatial relations in their spoken language, but also to discover whether these children have compensatory strategies or linguistic abilities which they can use to overcome their morpho-syntactic constraints.
Informants: 65 SLI + 30 controls; Characteristics: 61 boys and 34 girls ; 5 – 12 years; Specific Language Impairment (SLI); Aim data collection: investigation of the expression of spatial relations by children with SLI and normally developing children in their spoken language production; Materials available: Tests: Raven, WISC (Block Pattern, Mazes), Peabody: SPSS data files; Spatial Relations Task - audio recorded: transcript in Praat; data processed and coded in SPSS; TAK Narrative Task - audio recorded: transcript in Praat (2 recordings per child); data processed and coded in SPSS; Frog Narrative Task - audio recorded: transcript in Praat; data processed and coded in SPSS.
