Specific Language Impairment

[Annette Karmiloff-Smith]

As many of you know, Heather van der Lely has reported some
fascinating participants in her research suggesting the existence of
a form of Grammatical Specific Language Impairment (G-SLI) in which
children/adults show very specific grammatical impairments with no
deficits in semantics/pragmatics nor in any other cognitive or motor
domain of any kind.  I am preparing a presentation on this topic and,
to broaden the data base, I would be glad to hear from other
laboratories studying SLI and looking in particular at cases of
G-SLI.  References to existing papers on G-SLI, or possibly
pre-prints of new work would be most helpful.
Many thanks
Annette K-S
