Peer reviewedKlecan-Aker, Joan S.; Lopez, Beth – Language and Speech, 1985
Describes a study that compared the language abilities of first and third grade children. The children's narratives were analyzed for differences in T-units and the use of reference and conjoining. Results indicate that the older children used longer T-units and generally had more cohesive ties within their narratives. (Author/SED)
