Abstract

In this study, we explored the core vocabulary used by children with or without intellectual disability. Fifteen children with intellectual disability and their typical peers participated in this investigation. The language samples were collected from a dyadic conversation in their school. The language sample was analyzed to report the total number of words, total number of different word (TND), and number of spoken words used to make up 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% of the sample for each group. The amount of core vocabulary was around 200 for children with intellectual disability and their peers as well. In addition, the commonality of the two groups was also high.
