This study investigates phenomena that have been claimed to be indicative of Specific Language Impairment (SLI) in German, focusing on subject-verb agreement marking. Longitudinal data from fourteen German-speaking children with SLI, seven monolingual and seven Turkish-German successive bilingual children, were examined. We found similar patterns of impairment in the two participant groups. Both the monolingual and the bilingual children with SLI had correct (present vs. preterit) tense marking and produced syntactically complex sentences such as embedded clauses and wh-questions, but were limited in reliably producing correct agreement-marked verb forms. These contrasts indicate that agreement marking is impaired in German-speaking children with SLI, without any necessary concurrent deficits in either the CP-domain or in tense marking. Our results also show that it is possible to identify SLI from an early successive bilingual child's performance in one of her two languages.

Das Herbsttreffen Patholinguistik wird seit 2007 jährlich vom Verband für Patholinguistik e.V. (vpl) durchgeführt. Das 7. Herbsttreffen mit dem Schwerpunktthema "Hören – Zuhören – Dazugehören: Sprachtherapie bei Hörstörungen und Cochlea-Implantat" fand am 16.11.2013 in Potsdam statt. Der vorliegende Tagungsband beinhaltet die sechs Vorträge zum Schwerpunktthema aus verschiedenen Perspektiven: der medizinischen, der therapeutischen, der wissenschaftlichen sowie der von Betroffenen. Weiterhin sind die Beiträge der Posterpräsentationen zu Themen der sprachtherapeutischen Forschung und Praxis abgedruckt.
Der FinKon-Test
(2014)
Bei vielen schwerhörigen Kindern lassen sich Sprachentwicklungsverzögerungen oder Sprachentwicklungsstörungen im Bereich der Morphologie und Syntax beobachten. Noch ist nicht abschließend geklärt, wie diese Schwierigkeiten durch die Probleme im auditiven Bereich genau verursacht werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Wahrnehmbarkeit koronaler Konsonanten, die im Deutschen u. a. als Verbflexive fungieren. Der neue sprachaudiometrische FinKon-Test erfasst die Fähigkeit, diese Konsonanten im Wortauslaut auditiv wahrzunehmen und zu unterscheiden. In einer Pilotstudie mit 22 schwerhörigen und 15 hörenden Kindern erzielten Kinder mit einer Beeinträchtigung des Hörens schlechtere Ergebnisse als hörende Kinder. Die spezifische Schwierigkeit, Phoneme im Auslaut zu unterscheiden, kann den Erwerb der Verbflexion des Deutschen für schwerhörige Kinder deutlich erschweren. Daher ist es wichtig, die Wahrnehmung von Konsonanten im Auslaut im Rahmen der sprachaudiometrischen Überprüfung des kindlichen Hörvermögens mit einem entsprechenden diagnostischen Instrument, wie dem FinKon-Test, zu überprüfen.
This study addresses the question of whether and how growing up with more than one language shapes a child's language impairment. Our focus is on Specific Language Impairment (SLI) in bilingual (Turkish-German) children. We specifically investigated a range of phenomena related to the so-called CP (Complementizer Phrase) in German, the hierarchically highest layer of syntactic clause structure, which has been argued to be particularly affected in children with SLI. Spontaneous speech data were examined from bilingual children with SLI in comparison to two comparison groups: (i) typically-developing bilingual children, (ii) monolingual children with SLI. We found that despite persistent difficulty with subject-verb agreement, the two groups of children with SLI did not show any impairment of the CP-domain. We conclude that while subject-verb agreement is a suitable linguistic marker of SLI in German-speaking children, for both monolingual and bilingual ones, 'vulnerability of the CP-domain' is not.
