The study examines how these children, compared to those with typical language development, perform in repeating prosodic and segmental features. It reveals that children with DLD and HI generally perform lower on repetition tasks than their peers. The research highlights the potential of word and nonword repetition as indicators of language ability in these groups and stresses the importance of prosody in assessing language abilities. The findings underscore the necessity for longitudinal studies to better understand the relationship between prosody, language, cognition, and hearing. The work is intended for researchers, clinicians, and educators interested in language disorders, hearing impairments, and language development. ER -
