SLI is a disorder diagnosed when oral language lags behind other areas of development for no apparent reason (Bishop & Snowling, 2004).

(2000) showed that more than 50% of children with dyslexia also meet the criteria for SLI (see also Marshall, Harcourt-Brown, Ramus & Van der Lely, 2009 and McArthur & Hogben, 2001).

sentences with varied clauses and clause lengths, and Modern English writers using short, less complex sentences with less clauses and simpler, easier to read clause lengths and variations.

three groups in their ability to use plural inflections to non-words, none were found. It was suggested that not fully understanding the task and its requirements was a possible cause for the normal-developing children to obtain a large variety of scores. The results reveal that the groups with autism and developmental delay without autism both have difficulty applying past tense inflections which may create the task of applying past tense inflections to non-words more

Abstract: With globalization English has become the official language of the world. With about 71 million Marathi speaking people and varied works in Marathi literature and novels calls for translation.

Ever since I was born, I was raised in a Vietnamese household where my parents and grandparents always communicated to me in only Vietnamese. Before I was four years old, I slowly learned English from watching television and listening American radio stations.
