- Abstract
This study compares the use of reporting speech devices (RS) in narrative retells by Spanish-speaking children with (and without) Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). We assessed 50 7-year-old children (25 with DLD and 25 with TD) and analyzed the narrative retells' length and the RS forms introduced by children. In addition, we considered the Type of Reported Speech linguistic mechanism (TRSm) and the Type of Voice Assignment (TVA). Neither the number of RS sequences introduced, narrative retells' length, nor the number of original sequences exhibit significant differences between both groups. We found a mean correlation among groups' differences and TRSm (Spearman: 0356 rho>: 0011). Although both groups behave in a very similar way in some indicators, we found slight differences that characterize different communicative profiles for DLD and TD. The results have implications for planning DLD language interventions, mainly in those designed to improve DLD grammar and narrative usages.
