• Comparing Narrative and Expository Text Construction Across Adolescence: A Developmental Paradox (2007, background): “…cross-linguistic project revealed more complex structures in other areas of expository versus narrative syntax as well.8 These include a significantly higher proportion of passive voice constructions in the expository texts in English (Reilly et al., 2005) and other languages (Jisa et al., 2002).”
• The production of relative clauses in syntactic SLI: A window to the nature of the impairment (2006, background): “It is infrequent even in formal written texts, and is associated largely with academic or journalistic prose (Berman, 1979), and school-age children use passives very rarely even in written texts compared to other languages ( Jisa, Reilly, Verhoeven, Baruch, & Rosado, 2002 ).”
