- Abstract
- (en) Specific Language Impairment (SLI) refers to children with marked and persistent language difficulties in the context of normal cognitive abilities. SLI is nevertheless not a homogeneous disorder but includes a wide spectrum of different impairments often made up of combinations of deficits in particular areas of communication (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics). A subgroup of children with SLI displays word-finding difficulties (WFD) which is a language disorder wherein a speaker knows the words s/he wants to use but is sporadically unable to retrieve them. While this language disorder is often pointed in clinical diagnosis, the origin of this retrieval deficit is still uncertain. Some investigations suggested that impairment on semantic representations could explain this deficit but others found difficulties on phonological representations. To progress on this debate, the main objective of this thesis was to explain such lexical access deficit in children with SLI by considering a behavioral and a cognitive perspective.
