SLI Vocabulary Deficits
SLI Vocabulary Deficits
Children with SLI often have trouble with vocabulary, sometimes leading to roundabout or clumsy ways of talking (circumlocution).

Study Notes
Specific Language Impairment (SLI)
- Children with SLI exhibit vocabulary deficits, sometimes leading to circumlocution (talking around the point).
- Examples of circumlocution include describing an English muffin as "something round and English", a zipper as "on my brother's pants", and a spoon as "you eat breakfast with it".
Morphosyntactic Deficits in SLI
- Key deficits in SLI are in morphology (combining words) and syntax (combining sentences).
- Morphosyntactic development is delayed in SLI children, although they follow a similar developmental sequence as typically developing (TD) children.
- Some morphosyntactic structures are particularly challenging for children with SLI.
Types of Errors in SLI
- Errors in SLI can be omissions (like leaving out '-ed' endings) or substitutions (like replacing 'me' with 'I').
- Error patterns are not always consistent and are influenced by factors like sentence/word complexity, sound production, and familiarity with the words.
Discourse Deficits in SLI
- Discourse, including narrative and conversational skills, are impacted in SLI.
- Successful discourse involves the ability to tell stories and negotiate conversations.
Table 6.2: Common Morphosyntactic Deficits in English-Speaking Children with SLI
- This table lists common morphosyntactic features challenging for children with SLI.
- Errors are exemplified by phrases like "Dog eat him food" (instead of "The dog is eating his food") and other examples showcasing missing or substituted grammatical elements, like plural "s", past tense "-ed", prepositions, pronouns, auxiliary verbs, articles, and possessive ’s.
