In this seminar we will examine the manifestation of specific language impairment (SLI) across languages. The course will begin with coverage of current findings, explanations, and models of childhood language impairment based primarily on findings from children acquiring English. The course will then consider normal language acquisition in languages other than English. Finally, cross-linguistic studies of SLI will be reviewed. Future research directions using behavioral and electrophysiological techniques will be discussed.
