Abstract

|
Objectives: The present study looks at the comprehension and production of three semantic particles (nun, man, do) in Korean-speaking children with and without specific language impairment (SLI).
Methods: Ten children with SLI (chronological age [CA] 4;10-6;8, language age [LA] 3;10-5;8), ten normally developing children with matched language age (CA 3;11-5;9, LA 3;11-5;7) and ten normally developing children with matched chronological age (CA 4;8-6;8, LA 4;7-6;4) participated in the study. The children’s comprehension of three semantic particles (nun, man, do) was tested using a picture pointing task. The production of the particles was measured during a picture description task using part of pictures presented in the comprehension task.
Results: In comprehension performance, the children with SLI did not differ significantly from the other two groups. In production performance, the children with SLI performanced significantly worse than both the CA matched children and LA matched children. In both comprehension and production, all groups scored highest on ‘man’, followed by ‘nun’ and ‘do’.
Conclusion: These results indicate that Korean children with SLI produce these three semantic particles inefficiently. But they showed no difference in comprehension when compared to normally developing children.
