This research aims to analyze how school-age children produce morphosyntactic markers across different American English dialects.
Assessed 82 first- and second-grade children with and without developmental language disorder.
Conducted evaluations of dialect use and language abilities tailored for students using nonmainstream American English dialects.
Administered an experimental task targeting past tense -ed, third-person singular -s, and plural -s marking.
Children speaking nonmainstream dialects marked past tense and third-person singular less often than those speaking mainstream dialects.
Within the same dialect, children with typical language skills marked these features more frequently compared to peers with developmental language disorder.
