Abstract
Research on the increasing complexity of children's narratives has provided insight into how various linguistic resources are organized. However, to better understand this development, it is necessary to consider not only the relationship between discursive and linguistic factors but also to include cognitive aspects. This study aims to delve into the complexity involved in measuring child narrative development. To this end, two stages of narrative development are described and compared in two groups of monolingual Spanish-speaking Chilean children: one with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and another with Typical Development (TD). The analysis incorporates psycholinguistic indicators and the Adapted Index of Narrative Complexity (INC-A). Sixteen children with DLD and 23 with TD participated in the study. The assessment consisted of retelling tasks performed at ages 5 and 10. Results from the psycholinguistic indicators showed no significant group differences at either time point. No statistically significant differences were found in intergroup proportions in the INC-A; however, time had a considerable effect on score proportions. Unlike previous studies, we only found significant intergroup differences in the Plan sequence.
