This is
the first study that explores the quantity and quality of language input in
Cypriot Greek-speaking families using highly specialised software. The
purpose of this longitudinal case study was to record, analyse and evaluate
the longitudinal changes in conversational turns, input and participant
vocalisations in Cypriot Greek-speaking families using the computerised LENA
(Language Environment Analysis) software. The study involved two typically
developing children (TD) and a child with a Language Disorder (LD). TDs’
performance and language input confirmed the norms of typically developing
scores of the LENA system. In contrast, LD differed quantitatively and
qualitatively from the mean number of CVC and CTC. The mean numbers of LD
measured below the <25th percentile in any measurement and the quantity of
language input. Recent research supports the findings of the present study.
