Spontaneous language markers of Spanish language impairment (2007, background): “…the extended unique checking constraint [UCC] account of LI; see Wexler, 2003) children may consider articles to be optional for an extended period of time (Anderson & Souto, 2005) and agreement errors may be because of optionality of feature checking for agreement marking (Bedore & Leonard, 2005).”
Assessment of Bilingual Children for Identification of Language Impairment: Current Findings and Implications for Practice (2008, background): “…such as Spanish and Italian, difficulties related to tense marking are less extensive and children demonstrate significantly more difficulty with articles and clitic forms (Bedore & Leonard, 2001, 2005; Bortolini et al., 1997, 2002; Jacobson & Schwartz, 2002; Restrepo & Gutierrez-Clellen, 2001).”
How Language Proficiency Tests Mislead Us about Ability: Implications for English Language Learner Placement in Special Education (2006, background): “…typically developing mature speakers to be about 10% or less (Brown, 1973; Goodluck, 1991; Reilly, Marchman, & Bates, 1998), while the morphological error rate among language-impaired children tends to be considerably higher (Bedore & Leonard, 2005; Curtiss & Schaeffer, 1997, 2004; Leonard, 1997).”
