But there are several different discourse types, and each taxes the language system in different ways. So which discourse outcome measures are best?

So let's discuss key findings on what relates to children’s outcomes as well as strategies SLPs can implement immediately after the episode.

November

Dr. Ben Munson

Spoken language conveys multiple messages simultaneously. In addition to conveying a 'regular' linguistic message, utterances convey information about the people who produce them. This includes information about their identity (are they older, gay, and liberal [like me]?), and their state of mind (are they angry? what is their attitude toward the topic being discussed?). Part of learning language means learning how to convey these different pieces of social information.
