Major Field of Science: | Medical and Health Sciences | Field Category: | Basic Medicine | Keywords: | Cypriot Greek;Diagnostic verbal IQ;Language tests;Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices;Sentence repetition;Specific language impairment | Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | Selected Papers on Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, 2017, vol. 22, pp. 451-465 | Volume: | 22 | Start page: | 451 | End page: | 465 | Journal: | Selected Papers on Theoretical and Applied Linguistics | Abstract: | Given the significance of sentence repetition as a possible clinical marker across languages for specific language impairment (SLI), this study investigates Cypriot Greek. It reports on the clinical utility of a sentence repetition task (SRT) to distinguish children with SLI from those with typical language development (TLD). The research questions address (i) quantitative differences on SRT abilities between children with SLI (n=16) and TLD (n=22), (ii) SRT performance influenced by sentence length as related to short-term working memory span, and (iii) possible correlations of SRT scores with a global language test used for the identification of SLI in Cyprus. | Description: | Paper presented in International Symposium on Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, 2015, Thessaloniki, Greece, 24-26 April | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/10729 | ISSN: | 25291114 | DOI: | 10.26262/istal.v22i0.6009 | Rights: | © E.
