Abstract

This study considered the analysis of the production and comprehension of narrative discourse by a group of preschool children in Talca, Chile. The main objective was to compare the production and comprehension of narrative discourse by preschool children with SLI and typically developing children. All children were assessed on both skills. The study adopted a descriptivecomparative design. The sample comprised 40 children: 20 children with SLI and 20 with TLD. After comparing both groups, results showed no significant differences on narrative discourse production. However, significant differences were found in narrative comprehension: children with TLD performed higher than children with SLI.
