Abstract
The domain of derivational morphology has not been studied extensively in the language of SLI children. This paper examines comprehension and production of Hebrew nouns in language-impaired compared with normally developing schoolchildren with a view to contribute to the theoretical discussion of the nature of childhood SLI.
