Inappropriate Word Extensions in the Speech of Young Language-Disordered Children.

Chapman, Kathy; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v48 n1 p55-62 Feb 1983

The frequency and type of inappropriate word extensions (i.e., use of ball for moon) in the spontaneous speech of nine young language disordered children (2.8 to 3.4 years old) were studied. The percentage of inappropriate word extensions of these children was comparable to that of normal children at the same level of linguistic development. (Author/SEW)
