“…The literature on children with CIs and HAs frequently reports delays in the acquisition of syntax and morphology, indicating that this is a vulnerable language area for both groups (Brown 1984;Elfenbein and Hardin-Jones 1994;Norbury et al 2001;Young & Killen 2002;Wake et al 2004;Borg et al 2007;Hansson et al 2007;McGuckian & Henry 2007;Geers et al 2009;Hawker et al 2008;Moeller et al 2010;Caselli et al 2012;Koehlinger et al 2013).
