The last three decades have witnessed a substantial and intensive production of knowledge concerning the assessment of pragmatic language impairment (PLI) in children and adults. However, this produced evidence is mixed and contradictory. It is unclear what precisely a researcher could call a deficit related to PLI, what to assess, and how to best diagnose it! That being said, this study attempts to sort out this confusion by searching for competing explanations in the existing literature with a focus on studies conducted on preschoolers. This review attempts to answer the following primary question: RQ1: What concepts, definitions, and tests are used to assess the PLI of preschoolers? |
