Children with specific language impairment (SLI) and their MLU-matched normally developing (ND) peers imitated proper nouns, the pronouns he and you, and the article the in subject phrases. Although all of these word types were phonological phrase-initial syllables, the proper nouns received strong stress, but the function words received weak stress. Both groups of children showed significantly more omissions of the function words than the proper nouns. There was no significant difference amongst the imitations of the two pronouns or the article; all were omitted frequently by both groups. This suggests that the status of subject articles and pronouns as weak syllables in the initial position of phonological phrases may in some cases constitute a more important factor than the distinctive grammatical roles they play. A phonological explanation of subject article and pronoun omissions is explored.
患有特定语言障碍（SLI）的儿童及其平均语句长度匹配的正常发育（ND）同龄人会模仿专有名词、代词“他”和“你”以及主语短语中的冠词“the”。尽管所有这些词类都是音系短语开头的音节，但专有名词受到重音，而功能词受到轻音。两组儿童对功能词的省略都明显多于专有名词。在对这两个代词或冠词的模仿中没有显著差异；两组都经常省略它们。这表明，在某些情况下，主语冠词和代词在音系短语起始位置作为弱音节的地位可能比它们所起的独特语法作用更重要。本文探讨了对主语冠词和代词省略的音系学解释。
