Is the Syntax Development of Dysphasic Children Deviant and Why? New Findings to an Old Question.

Grimm, Hannelore; Weinert, Sabine

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n2 p220-28 Jun 1990

Comparison of dysphasic children (N=8) with control children found that the dysphasic children's language development was both delayed and deviant, and that the children's deviant syntax structures were the result of insufficient language processing and could not be traced back to structural characteristics of the sentences used by their mothers.
