This study aims to examine the differences in expressive language in preschool children (n=36) across contexts. Children’s lexical diversity, lexical productivity, and verb use was compared between two language sampling contexts: a narrative retell task and a naturalistic language sample via a LENA device. Correlations are reported between LSA and standardized measures of expressive language. / A Thesis submitted to the School of Communication Science and Disorders in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Summer Semester 2017. / June 12, 2017. / Includes bibliographical references. / Carla Wood, Professor Directing Thesis; Juliann Woods, Committee Member; Lindsey Dennis, Committee Member.
