This study aimed to compare cell phone use (both oral and text-based) by adolescents with and without specific language impairment (SLI) and examine the extent to which language and social factors affect frequency of use.
Both interview and diary methods were used to compare oral and text-based communication using cell phones by 17-year-olds: 52 adolescents with SLI and 52 typically developing (TD) peers.
Overall, adolescents with SLI are motivated users of mobile technology, and they engage with both oral uses (phoning) and text-based uses (text messaging). However, adolescents with SLI do not exchange text messages as often as their TD peers. Social rather than language factors are associated with frequency of cell phone use in adolescence.
These findings indicate that social difficulties restrict text-based uses of cell phones by adolescents with SLI, which can in turn reduce the opportunities that these adolescents have to develop social networks and make arrangements to engage in peer social interaction.
本研究旨在比较有和没有特定语言障碍（SLI）的青少年使用手机（口头和基于文本的）的情况，并探讨语言和社会因素对使用频率的影响程度。
本研究采用访谈和日记法，对 17 岁青少年使用手机进行口头和基于文本的交流进行比较：52 名有 SLI 的青少年和 52 名典型发育（TD）的同龄人。
总的来说，有 SLI 的青少年是移动技术的积极使用者，他们既使用口头交流（打电话），也使用基于文本的交流（发短信）。然而，有 SLI 的青少年发短信的频率不如他们的 TD 同龄人高。与语言因素相比，社会因素与青少年使用手机的频率有关。
这些发现表明，社交困难限制了有 SLI 的青少年使用基于文本的手机，这反过来又减少了这些青少年发展社交网络和安排参与同伴社交互动的机会。
