Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This study aims to investigate the comprehension of reversible relative clauses in Greek children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) compared to typically developing children. The study seeks to determine whether SLI children's comprehension of these complex sentences differs from their language and age-matched peers, and if so, how these differences relate to syntactic and morphological knowledge.
- Comprehension of reversible relative clauses in children with SLI
- Differences in comprehension between SLI children and typically developing children
- The role of syntactic and morphological knowledge in sentence comprehension
- The human parser and its influence on sentence processing
- Comparison of sentence comprehension in Greek and German
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
I1. Experimental hypothesis method and results of Stavrakaki´s study (2001)
This chapter presents the experimental hypothesis and results of Stavrakaki's (2001) study on the comprehension of reversible relative clauses in Greek children with SLI. It examines the differences in comprehension between SLI children and their language and age-matched peers, and explores the role of syntactic and morphological knowledge in this process. The chapter also discusses the human parser and its influence on sentence processing.
2. German pilot study
This chapter outlines a pilot study on the comprehension of relative clauses in German children with SLI. It builds upon the findings of Stavrakaki's (2001) study, focusing on the role of morphology and case marking in sentence comprehension. The chapter describes the experimental design, participants, and sentence types used in the study, as well as the expected outcomes.
Schlüsselwörter (Keywords)
The study focuses on key concepts such as Specific Language Impairment (SLI), reversible relative clauses, sentence comprehension, syntactic and morphological knowledge, human parser, case marking, and cross-linguistic differences in sentence processing. The study utilizes experimental methods and compares the performance of children with SLI to their language and age-matched peers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the focus of the study by Stavrakaki et al. (2001)?
The study investigates how Greek children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) comprehend reversible relative clauses compared to typically developing children.
What does SLI stand for in this context?
SLI stands for Specific Language Impairment, a condition where children have significant language development difficulties despite normal intelligence and hearing.
What are reversible relative clauses?
These are complex sentences where the subject and object can be swapped while remaining semantically plausible, making them a challenge for syntactic processing.
Is there a difference in how Greek and German children process these clauses?
Yes, the study explores cross-linguistic differences, particularly how morphological markers and case marking in Greek and German influence sentence comprehension.
What was the goal of the German pilot study mentioned?
The German pilot study aimed to apply the findings from the Greek research to German-speaking children, focusing on the role of case marking in understanding relative clauses.
