Abstract

Analysis of children’s productions of oral narratives is a highly effective research tool that allows examiners to document children’s productive vocabulary and grammar (using microstructural analyses) as well as children’s text level narrative organization skills (using macrostructural analyses). In this study we used the Narrative Scoring Scheme and the Speech Rate and Fluency in Children and Adolescents to analyse the productions of oral narratives of children with and without language disorders. The results showed language developmental effects. Children with language disorders have difficulties in the use of macro and microstructural features and lower speech fluency score.
