Abstract:
This study examines the grammatical abilities of children and adolescents with
Specific Language Impairment (SLI). There were two research goals. Firstly,
the persistence of grammatical problems over time was examined by comparing a
younger group of children with SLI and an older group of adolescents with SLI.
Secondly, this study explored whether difficulties in the grammatical domain
in SLI purely reflect a grammatical deficit or may partly stem from problems
in the implementation of grammatical knowledge due to problems in information
processing. In the grammatical production tasks, the complexity of the
linguistic context was therefore varied to examine whether this would cause a
(larger) decrease in scores in the SLI groups. In addition, different measures
of information processing ability were administered and the link between
variability in performance and processing abilities was examined.
On the basis of the outcomes this book makes two major claims. Firstly,
grammatical problems in SLI are persistent into adolescence. For some
grammatical aspects such as grammatical gender, fossilization seemed to take
place before children reach adolescence. Other aspects, such as verb
inflection, had clearly been acquired by adolescence but differences between
SLI and typical development (TD) in the amount of errors still remained.
Secondly, grammatical performance in SLI was affected by the linguistic
context in which grammatical knowledge had to be implemented. Such effects
were small or absent in the TD groups. The effect of context was related to
the verbal processing abilities of the groups. Grammatical problems in SLI
therefore do not always reflect a deficit in grammar. Even when grammatical
knowledge has been acquired, a child or adolescent with SLI is not always able
to implement this knowledge in performance.
This dissertation is of relevance to researchers in the fields of language
acquisition and language disorders, as well as to clinicians and teachers
working with children and adolescents with language impairments.
