The study investigates lexical retrieval of verbs (through picture-naming actions) and compares performances for the same children with noun retrieval (through picture-naming objects). It was found that nouns (object names) were better retrieved than verbs (action names) in the multilingual group with SLI, a finding similar to bilectal peers with SLI and typically developing language-matched controls. The results suggest that grammatical class is an organising principle shared across languages. Moreover, when tested in first and third language, multilingual children with SLI revealed a comparable verb–noun dissociation both in terms of the direction of the effect (V < N) and major error type. These findings are discussed in relation to the delayed acquisition hypothesis for SLI and psycholinguistic models of multilingualism. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/3694 | ISSN: | 17477530 | DOI: | 10.1080/14790718.2012.705846 | Rights: | © Taylor & Francis | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology University of Cyprus European University Cyprus |
