A Study of the Syntactic Language Skills of Normal School-Age Children

Joan S. Klecan-Aker
Dona Lea Hedrick

The purpose of this study was to examine the syntactic language skills of school-age children. Subjects were chosen from the sixth and ninth grades and asked to create a narrative on a topic of their choice. Narratives were analyzed descriptively for differences in syntax using an adaptation of the Language Assessment Remediation Screening Procedure. Narratives were analyzed statistically for differences in T-unit length, clause length, and clause usage. Findings indicated statistically significant differences between groups in the words per T-unit, and the words per clause used in the narratives. Differences were not found in the use of verb extensions between groups. Implications from these results are drawn relative to the evaluation and treatment of the language-disordered child.
