Abstract

This paper analyzes the morphosyntactic and discursive aspects of two stories produced by a girl with Specific Language Impairment. Two corpora were analyzed. The first one refers to a spontaneous narrative produced by the patient (Corpus 1), while the second one is a re-narration of a tale read by the speech therapist, with images support (Corpus 2). The aim of this study was to analyze qualitatively morphosyntactic and discursive aspects of both speeches. It attempts to show some of the characteristic features of the oral narratives produced by children with Specific Language Impairment from both corpora qualitative description. Both corpora showed the disorders described in the literature at the morphosyntactic level. Nevertheless, the analysis of the discursive aspects showed a difference between the corpora, as more disorganization and coherence problems are seen in Corpus 1 (spontaneous narrative of the child). Corpus 2 showed an organized temporal sequence with thematic progression according to the reading. In this corpus, more difficulty was observed in the clarification and recovery strategies of the references linked to the inclusion of dialogic sequences within the narrative.

Keywords:

analysis of corpus, SLI, stories.
