“…All of the children from this group had scores on the ABFW of at least 1.25 standard deviations below the mean for the Vocabulary component. Additionally, these children had a poor performance on the mean length of utterance (MLU) test, in word and in morphemes, using the reference values available for Brazilian Portuguese speakers (Araujo, 2007). The samples used for analysis included the first 100 complete and intelligible utterances produced by the child in the entire sample.…”

“…All children exhibited a predominance of use of verbal as compared to gesture and nonverbal communication means (see Table 1 for more detailed information on test scores). The mean length of utterance in morphemes (MLU m ) in spontaneous speech samples of at least 150 utterances for all children was below at least 1 SD of reference values available for Brazilian Portuguese (Araujo, 2007). The group mean for MLU m was 4.84 ( SD = 0.48).…”

Purpose In this study, the authors examined the comprehension of sentences with predicates and reflexives that are linked to a nonadjacent noun as a test of the hierarchical ordering deficit (HOD) hypothesis. That hypothesis and more modern versions posit that children with specific language impairment (SLI) have difficulty in establishing nonadjacent (hierarchical) relations among elements of a sentence. The authors also tested whether additional working memory demands in constructions containing reflexives affected the extent to which children with SLI incorrectly structure sentences as indicated by their picture-pointing comprehension responses. Method Sixteen Brazilian Portuguese-speaking children (8;4–l 0;6 [years;months]) with SLI and 16 children with typical language development (TLD) matched for age (±3 months), gender, and socioeconomic status participated in 2 experiments (predicate and reflexive interpretation). In the reflexive experiment, the authors also manipulated working memory demands. Each experiment involved a 4-choice picture selection sentence comprehension task. Results Children with SLI were significantly less accurate on all conditions. Both groups made more hierarchical syntactic construction errors in the long working memory condition than in the short working memory condition. Conclusion The HOD hypothesis was not confirmed. For both groups, syntactic factors (structural assignment) were more vulnerable than lexical factors (prepositions) to working memory effects in sentence miscomprehension.

“…The MLU test (Araujo & Befi-Lopes, 2007) is a classic measure that evaluates the speaker's proficiency in a given language. Since early studies of language (e.g., Cazden, 1968), the MLU test has been quite sensitive to assessing language development across ages.…”

Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is defined as an unexpected failure in linguistic abilities during a child’s early years of development. Children with SLI do not present significant impairment in nonverbal intellectual outcomes and do not lack normal environmental exposure to language. Brazilian and worldwide researchers have sought to understand the cultural implications of SLI in the Brazilian Portuguese language. Standardized and validated measures must be used in empirical studies. The present study systematically reviewed the instruments used to assess linguistic abilities in quantitative SLI research in Brazil. Three databases were chosen: Medline, SciELO, and Google Scholar. From a total of 828 articles retrieved, only 10 met the inclusion criteria. Seven standardized assessment measures were identified. However, only two of these reported psychometric properties using adequate normative data. No normalized instrument measured the entire spectrum of linguistic abilities. We discuss the results from the perspective of SLI theories and evidence in Brazil and worldwide.
