We compare three theories (pure phonological theory, surface theory, and mapping theory) about language developmental disorders considering that phonological difficulties are the main reason for the children’s disorders. First, we identified the linguistic parameters (salience, phonological complexity, syntactic complexity, lexical/functional, semantic/syntactic) that are fundamental to these theories. Then we tested the validity of these parameters by testing them against results obtained by SLI children and control children. Nine syntactic categories were tested (determiner, noun, verb, etc.) No theory could fully explain the results obtained. Some linguistic parameters (eg. phonological complexity) are very interesting but fail to explain all results. Some other parameters (eg. salience) turned out to be inadequate to explain the results of French-speaking children. [less ▲]

This article contrasts two theoretical frames actually used to account for morphosyntactic disorders in children with specific language impairment. The first one stems from a traditional formal linguistic account developped in the context of Chomsky’s works while the second approach, the emergent account, is more functional. Following the linguistic account, it has been assumed that children are born with an innate set of representational constraints, the Universal Grammar, on which grammars are possible for a given language. In contrast, for the emergentist view, it is not necessary to postulate an autonomous device that evolved for grammar rather language in general, and grammar in particular, would emerge from cognitive and communicative abilities and linguistic environment. Both theoretical frames are briefly presented and discussed as well as their implications for the pathology study in children. [less ▲]
