SLI has been suggested as arising as a result of a variety of processing deficits (Fletcher, 1999). One set of investigators suggests that processing of grammatical information is critical, working under the assumption that the hallmark of SLI is disordered morphosyntax (Crago & Gopnick, 1994; Leonard, 1997). Others have suggested that SLI arises from an impairment in processing generally, although syntax may be particularly vulnerable (Bishop, 1994). Further, two aspects of processing have been hypothesized to account for problems of children with SLI.
