- Summary:
-
The results from three studies using data provided by the SLOPE Test and oral interviews are reported. The studies include: (1) a comparison of rank orders obtained over a period of time; (2) a comparison of rank orders obtained in instrument-elicited and spontaneous speech; and (3) a comparison of results obtained using two methods of analysis, rank ordering and error analysis. The results of these studies suggest that morpheme rank ordering, using cross-sectional data and based upon instrument-elicited speech, can be a valid method of analysis. Certain limitations to this method are noted, however, for morpheme ordering appears to obscure important data. A recommendation is made for supplementing results with other types of analysis which examine the basic forms produced by language learners. (Author)
