Multiple Choice

You have invited your friend over for dinner. Your child sees your friend reaches for some cookies and says, “Better not take those, or you’ll get even bigger.” You are embarrassed that your child could speak so rudely.

However, you should consider that your child may not know how to use language appropriately in social situations and did not mean harm by the comment. An individual may say words clearly and they may also use long, complex sentence with correct grammar. However, they may still have a communication problem – if he or she has not mastered the rules for social language known as pragmatics. Adults may also have difficulty with pragmatics, for example, as a result of a brain injury or stroke. An individual might have little varieties in language use. It is not unusual for children to have pragmatic problems in only a few situations.

However, if problems in social language use occur often and seem inappropriate considering the child’s age, pragmatic disorder may exist. Pragmatic disorders often coexist with other language problems such as vocabulary or grammar.

One example of a complex sentence in the text above is ....

• It is not unusual for children to have pragmatic problems in only a few situations.
