Can vocabulary size predict narrative abilities in children with SLI?

Abstract
Correlating expressive vocabulary skills with narrative microstructure measures
such as morphosyntactic skills revealed that both are powerful tools to assess
language-impaired children. However, for expressive vocabulary to have a
predictive value on narrative performance, younger children with SLI should
be investigated. Our results lend support to a unified model of SLI (Rice 2003)
revealing that both expressive vocabulary and narrative re-tell microstructure
are delayed in school-aged Greek Cypriot children with SLI compared to their
typically developing peers.
