CONCLUSION: Sentence repetition and short-term memory provide information on language comprehension and grammar abilities in language-impaired mono- and bilingual children and confirm their function as SLI markers. Sentence repetition predicted language comprehension, and the digit span task predicted grammar abilities of the SLI, biSLI, and their controls. RESULTS: Both groups with language impairment (SLI/biSLI) showed reduced performance on both tasks. METHOD: In a retrospective study, 19 children with SLI and 25 controls (ages 4 9-5 9), as well as 15 biSLI children and 14 controls (ages 5 1-8 9) were compared with regard to their performance on a digit span and sentence repetition task. We investigated if language learning of bilingual children with suspected language impairment (biSLI) was also influenced and led by memory constraints. N2 - PURPOSE: Digit span and sentence repetition are identified as potential markers for specific language impairment (SLI). T1 - Sentence repetition and digit span: potential markers of bilingual children with suspected SLI?
