“…Though the expository written discourse development in Greek-speaking children remains underexplored, there is limited evidence showing that it is a dynamic process that develops gradually and is academically attained in adolescence. Specifically, Kantzou’s ( 2019 ) study has focused on the syntactic complexity of the expository texts of Greek-speaking children aged 10, 13, and 16 years, and found that children at the age of 10 years are able to produce coherent expository texts, however, they follow a linear organization of information as compared to the older groups that organize their text hierarchically.…”

Twenty-eight Albanian-Greek bilingual children with Developmental Language Disorder and 28 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder but no language impairment, along with 28 typically-developing, age-, Performance IQ- and socioeconomic status-matched bilingual children were asked to produce two expository texts which were coded for spelling (phonological, grammatical, orthographic) errors, stress and punctuation use. The children’s expressive vocabulary, current language use and home language history were also measured. The results show that the bilingual children with Developmental Language Disorder were particularly vulnerable to spelling errors, while their bilingual peers with Autism Spectrum Disorder were rather challenged by stress and punctuation. The evidence speaks in favor of distinct patterns of writing impairment across the bilingual children with Developmental Language Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
