The Dynamic Communication Evaluation (DCE) is an event-based coding scheme for the analysis of intentional communicative acts produced via parental interaction, including categories of socio-communicative pragmatics and structural linguistic complexity. This cross-sectional observational study compares the communicative-linguistic competencies detected through the DCE of LTs with those of typical development children. The participants included 19 LT children (24-38 months old) with a vocabulary size lower than the 5th percentile on the Italian version of the MacArthur-Bates CDI, and the findings were compared to the performance of 19 typically developing (TD) children (25-37 months old). The groups were matched for chronological age. Correlations between communicative and linguistic labels and age were found in the LT group in greater numbers than in the TD group. A comparison between the two groups revealed lower abilities in LT than TD children in communicative-pragmatic indices - such as joint attention, responsiveness, and request of information - and in linguistic indices. Socio-communicative pragmatic, lexical, morphosyntactic, and phonological skills influenced each other during development in children with slow language emergence. The findings have clinical implications regarding early identification. Systematic observations appear to have clinical value because they support quantitative and qualitative data collection and guide intervention.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144610142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims of this study were to document bilingualism in RTT and to assess the development of language skills over time. A longitudinal, single-case study approach was taken for this research. The participant was a female adolescent with the preserved speech variant of Rett syndrome (PSV RTT), who had been exposed to both English and Welsh from birth. Data collection comprised administering parental questionnaires, documenting expressive vocabulary, and repeated administration of standardised English- and Welsh-medium tests at 18-month intervals. Repeated measures showed an improvement in linguistic and non-linguistic abilities between data points 1 and 2. There was a growth in English and Welsh expressive vocabulary in line with the participant's level of exposure to each language. Further increases in English and Welsh vocabulary comprehension were seen at the third data point after changes in the amount and mode of language exposure received. This study is the first to document bilingualism in RTT, including the development of receptive and expressive abilities in both languages over time. This study found no evidence of a detrimental effect of bilingualism in this individual and highlights the need for further research into bilingualism in RTT.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144210040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To provide a holistic view of the interconnections of linguistic entities in PWA discourse, this study compared the lexical networks of discourse produced by PWA with those by healthy controls. At the macro level, PWA networks showed a smaller size and diameter but higher density compared to those of healthy controls. In addition, networks of both groups showed small-world characteristics. However, the degree of small-worldness was lower for the networks of PWA compared to those of healthy controls. At the meso level, network modularity measures of healthy controls were larger than those of PWA in the story-narrative task. At the micro level, the degrees of nodes in the networks of both groups followed a power-law distribution, suggesting that their networks were scale-free. Our findings reveal that lexical networks of PWA discourse are constrained and less efficient but still retain some basic characteristics of typical language networks.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144210041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results revealed significant correlations between speechreading, phonological awareness, and reading comprehension in adults with HI, but not those with NH. Phonological awareness did not mediate the relationship between speechreading and reading comprehension in either group of participants. These results suggest that visual speech information (speechreading) contributes to the development of phonological representations in adults with HI, which in turn supports reading comprehension. This relationship was not observed in the adults with NH. Teachers and clinicians working with HI students need to have an understanding of this difference, and take into account the developmental nature of the relationship between speechreadaing, phonological awareness and reading comprehension in the HI students for differentiated reading intervention. If attention to the visual speech information via speechreading indeed contributes to better phonological awareness, HI students may benefit from other visual methods to develop component skills that are foundational to reading success.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"602-624"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142923764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the exact reasons why such tools and procedures are not available to SLTs were not fully clarified in previous studies. In a new online survey, 297 SLTs from 17 different countries were asked about their perspectives on SLT service provision for multilingual children with regard to their practical applicability and relevance. Participants were asked to rate their degree of agreement with 17 statements about multilingualism on a scale from 1 to 5. The results show that working with multilingual children is effortful for SLTs. SLTs indicated that assessment tools in languages beyond the societal language are not easily accessible, and that they are not content with the currently available tools. Similarly, SLTs find it difficult to access interpreters to help in the service provision for multilingual children. Participants also agreed that foreign language speakers should be recruited for the profession to increase the linguistic diversity among SLTs. Mandatory internships are considered useful to increase concrete experience in working with multilingual patients. Pointing to a lack of resources, SLTs consider easy access to useful materials and concrete experiences with multilingualism important to promote the development of multilingual and multicultural attitudes and appropriate approaches to linguistic diversity in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"784-807"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143365906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim was to examine how speech, language, cognitive and motor abilities developed in children without CB. For 15 children identified as not having CB, consonant production, expressive vocabulary and general development were assessed at 12, 18 and 36 months from audio-video recordings. Twelve (79%) children still lacked CB at 12 months. At 18 months, six (40%) had parent-reported expressive vocabulary results below the 10th percentile, and two (14%) did not use dental/alveolar stops. The percentage of consonants correct for the group was at the level of peers at 36 months (89%, SD 0.17), but the group had fewer established target consonants than age norms. Most children had a small expressive vocabulary in comparison with Swedish age norms for younger children as well as with age-matched norms for other Nordic languages. The general development (Bayley-III) for three children (21%) who did not use speech was 1-2 SD below the average range in at least one domain (cognitive, language or motor), but the results for the whole group were within the average range. In conclusion, the heterogeneity in early consonant development in the study group resembles that of children in clinical groups with known risk for speech and language difficulties and the expressive vocabulary resembles that of children with delayed expressive vocabulary. For about one-fifth of the children, the absence of canonical babbling at age 10 months could be seen as an early sign of a more comprehensive developmental disability.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"721-735"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142523405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the speech and language therapy clinic, it is difficult to disentangle developmental language disorders from insufficient exposure. Dynamic assessment, which directly tests the learning potential of children, offers a promising solution for this dilemma. This study compares the clinical potential of two dynamic assessment situations, varying amount of adult mediation (autonomous computer game vs. interactive story reading with graduated cues), as well as item types (nouns, verbs, and inflections in sentences) and linguistic modalities and tasks (comprehension - word picture matching and acceptability judgement, production - free recall and picture naming). Forty-nine French monolingual and French-Portuguese bilingual children with and without developmental language disorder, aged 5;0 to 7;11 years, were include in the final analyses. Using Lasso regressions, we were able to determine which variables best explain the presence of disorder. A combination of all item types and predominantly receptive tasks, mostly from the interactive situation, was retained for very high classification accuracy (up to 100% sensitivity and 96% specificity). Language status showed no influence, which encourages the use of dynamic assessment in the context of speech and language assessment with bilingual children. This study adds to evidence that dynamic assessment is a promising task for identifying bilingual and monolingual children with developmental language disorder, particularly when the situation involves interaction with graduated cues.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"540-558"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142787470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, studies that have focused on the inferential language use in narratives of adolescents with DLD are almost non-existent, and it is unclear whether inferential language use by adolescents with DLD would remain problematic or achieve close-to-normal performance. To address this issue, we compared the use of inferential language in the oral narratives 19 adolescents with DLD (Mean age = 14.3; SD = 0.64) and 19 adolescents with typical language development (TLD; Mean age = 14.0; SD = 0.50).

We introduce a new instrument developed as part of the third edition of a standardised test battery for German. This instrument utilises elicited production, wherein participants describe coloured pictures depicting everyday situations, in order to generate four test scores: mean length of utterances, completeness of utterances, and two grammar scores comprising relevant target structures. The construction of the grammar scores was inspired by the Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn), modified for German and computerised. The detailed results provide a comprehensive profile of a child's syntactic and morphological strengths and weaknesses. Analysis of data collected from 348 monolingual German children who formed part of the norming sample, aged between 2;6 and 6;11 years of age, revealed age-related changes in these scores. Additionally, the age range was determined for both grammatical milestones and 'red flags', which may indicate potential problems in language development.
