- Abstract
- Data from several languages, including Swedish, have shown that
children with specific language impairment (SLI) have particular
difficulties with verb morphology. In the present study, the verb
morphology of six Swedish children with SLI was further
explored in longitudinal and cross-sectional data. It was found
that the children with SLI had significant problems with the use of
auxiliary and modals, compared with younger MLU-matched
controls. Although the children with SLI omit auxiliary and
modals less frequently with increasing age, their levels of
omission are not compatible with their MLU levels. The results
are discussed with reference to... (More) - Data from several languages, including Swedish, have shown that
