Grammatical Morphology in Language-Impaired Children Acquiring English or German as Their First Language: A Functional Perspective.

Lindner, Katrin; Johnston, Judith R.

Applied Psycholinguistics, v13 n2 p115-29 Jun 1992

Fourteen matched pairs of German-speaking and English-speaking children were tested for their knowledge of grammatical morphology and expressive vocabulary. The finding that the German-speaking children earned higher scores than did the English-speaking children adds to the literature that documents language-specific sensitivity to particular sorts of syntactic devices.
