AB This dissertation provides an empirical study on the acquisition of overt articles by nativespeakers of English. The study investigates how articles are acquired by typicallydeveloped children (TD) and by children with specific language impairment (SLI). Theanalysis of the data carried out in this dissertation centers on five semantic contexts inwhich the definite and the indefinite article may appear. The type of data analyzed in thestudy is spontaneous and it has been extracted from CHILDES. The TD and SLIparticipants have been matched considering two parameters: their MLU and their age. Thestudy finally points out that in the acquisition of articles, the production of SLI participantsis similar to that of their MLU-matched TD peers rather than to that of their AGE-matchedTD ones.KEYWORDS: Acquisition, articles, children with specific language impairment (SLI),English, semantic context, typically developed children (TD).
