Meaning and Structure of Down's Syndrome and Nonretarded Children's Spontaneous Speech.
Layton, Thomas L.; Sharifi, Hassan
American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v83 n5 p439-45 Mar 1979
The structure of the spontaneous language samples of nine Down's syndrome children (7 to 12 years old) was compared to that of nine nonretarded children, using the generative semantic model proposed by W. Chate. Language samples were analyzed in terms of mean length of utterance and semantic structure. (Author/SBH)
