The purpose of the present sutdy was to investigate the characteristics of receptive and expressive language development of cleft palate infants aged under 3. Twenty-six cleft palate infants and 52 normal infants were grouped into 3 chronologica age groups with 1 year intervals: less than 1, 1, and 2 years old. The cleft palate infants ere divided into 2 groups: cleft palate only, and cleft lip & palate. Each mother of the infants was asked to complete the questionnaire, Sequenced Language Scale for Infants iSELSI). Receptive and Expressive language scores of SELSI were computed. The scores of recep-tive and expressive language were respectively analyzed into 4 categories of language: phonology/prosody, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. The results, concerning the differ-ences of language development between the cleft palate and the normal infants, were as follows: (1) expressive language scores were significantly different at age 2 between the cleft palate and the normal infants; (2) cleft plate groups aged less than 1 and 1 showed lower scores of phonology/prosody of expressive language than the normal groups; (3) cleft palate group aged 2 showed lower scores than the normal group in semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. Tfhe results, concerning the characteristics of language develop-ment between the cleft palate only and the cleft lip & palate infants, were as follows: (10 the scores of expressive and receptive language were not statistically different vetween the 2 groups; (20 both groups did not show any difference in the scores of phonology/ prosody, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics of receptive and expressive language.
