Abstract

Syntactic priming is a useful tool for investigating grammatical learning in both children and adults with language impairment. The studies discussed in this chapter combine psycholinguistic methods and theoretical approaches for advancing our knowledge of language pathologies, elucidating some of the mechanisms of grammatical learning that could be at the core of the language impairment. The first part of the chapter discusses experimental studies on syntactic priming in children with a developmental language disorder (DLD), with a focus on the learning mechanisms that support the acquisition of grammatical structures in these children, structures that are otherwise rare in input and output. The second part of the chapter discusses the use of priming in the investigation of acquired language disorders in adults, when language has already been acquired and access is assumed to be the chief problem.
