[Producing generative sentence usage in a retarded girl (author's transl)].

The purpose of the study was to teach a 15-years old mentally and speech retarded girl the use of simple generative sentences by means of question-answer procedures (cf. Clark & Sherman 1975). Whereas at the beginning the girl rarely produced correct new sentences, there was a marked improvement towards the end of the training programme. The generalisation effect--probably a result of the training--was such that also irregular verbs were formed with regular endings.
