Dr Elise Baker presented a paper on behalf of Charlotte Howland. Charlotte worked on the Sound Start Study and her Honours thesis examined data from the study. Assessment of expressive language skills in preschoolers with phonological impairment can be challenging. Often, poor speech sound production obscures realization of grammatical morphemes. This study explored whether grammatical morpheme realization differed across morphological and phonological contexts for 87 preschool children. Finite morphemes in consonant cluster contexts were the most challenging.
