Abstrakt: This study evaluated the effect of occasion and place on the generalizability of spontaneous speech data. Language samples were obtained from four normally developing children aged 3;8 and 3;9 from Dutch-speaking professional homes. Four samples of 100 utterances were gathered from each child, two samples at home and two in a clinical setting. All samples were recorded under unstructured conversational conditions. The time gap between first and last date of recording was no longer than 21 days. GRAMAT, a morphosyntactic model based on LARSP, was used for analysis at three levels: clause, phrase and morphological level. The data obtained were statistically analysed using loglinear model fitting. The results revealed a lack of generalizability at all three levels of morphosyntactic analysis. Some consequences of this outcome are discuased. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
