Abstract

|
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of syntactic complexity. (sentence length and sentence structure) on sentence repetition performance and intelligibility between specific language impairment(SLI) and normal childredn. Thirteen SLI children and twenty-six normal children, matched by 3 years of language, participated in this stydy. The sentence repetition performance of the subjects were analyzed based on the sentence length (3-word simple sentences, and 5-word simple senences) and sentence structure (5-word simple sentences, 5-word conjoined complex sentences, and 5-word embedded complex sentences). The results of this study indicated the sentence structure influenced sentence reptetion performance and intelligibility of SLI children only. The implication of these findings were discussed.
