Grammatical(G)-SLI

[Heather van der Lely]

Dear Colleagues,

A year ago Annette Karmiloff-Smith put out this notice (copied below) with
respect to labs studying  G-SLI children. She told me that she had a HUGE
response!

I would be very interested to hear from those of you who replied to this
message and are studying G-SLI or other relatively "pure" forms of SLI.
Similarly, references to existing papers on G-SLI, or possibly pre-prints
of new work would be most helpful.
Many thanks
Heather van der Lely
