The capacity to repeat nonwords is closely related to the abiilty to acquire novel phonological forms and word learning. These abilities are linked in the early childhood and across the life span (Gathercole and Baddely, 1989; Avons, Wragg, Cupples, and Lovergrova, 1998; Michas and Henry, 1994). Difficulties in repetition of multisyllabic nonwords are important indication of SLI, indicating possible deficit in phonological memory and representations (Gathercole and Baddely, 1990).
We are presenting data compiled within the framework of COST Action ISO804 WG3 http://www.bi-sli.org/ where a quasi-universal relatively language-free list of nonwords was constructed for the purpose of universal language assessment in bilingual children and children with SLI. In order to lay the ground for the future comparisons with children diagnosed with SLI, the list was presented to Serbian typically developing 3 to 6-year-olds (46 children at four age levels). The list consisted of two to five-syllabl...e nonwords with CVCV internal structure and was presented in two conditions, with and without language specific (Serbian) prosody.
The results revealed that increasing length of nonwords affected repetition accuracy. The younger children tended to drop syllables in long nonwords, change their position, and make substitutions for consonants. A notable finding is that items without prosody were often repeated with language-specific prosody added.
Our results indicate that TD children’s repetition of nonwords designed to be maximally neutral between languages does not rely exclusively on phonological processing skills. Relatively experienced learners use their knowledge of language-specific phonological structure in reproducing novel forms.
