MICROLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF NARRATIVE PRODUCED BY 10-YEARS OLD CHILDREN WITH SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IMPAIRMENT
Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2007, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Research has been carried out on 14 children with specific language impairment and 14 children with normal language development. All children were Slovene speaking, monolingual and matched by sex, socio-economic status and school environment. Hypothesis was, that differences between SLI children and children with NLD exist in the domain of narration. Narration texts that were acquired with unstructured encouragement (recount) were analysed on the basis of the following variables: total number of statements, number of compound sentences, number of connectors and number of stimulations. It was established statistically significant differences between the groups in the total space of variables of the narration text, analysed on microlinguistic level. It can thus be assumed that due to the specific deficit in the language area, children with specific language impairment aged around ten exhibit all the characteristics of typical narration discourse: shorter texts of lesser quality, with difficulties in structuring the narration into language form.
