AbstractIntroduction: The first diagnostic feature of late- children talkers is the low number of descriptive vocabulary coffers compared to peers. The purpose of this study was to compare the lexical variation (TTR) between late and spoken Persian language children in the age range of 2-3 years. Materials and Methods: In this pilot cross-sectional-comparative study, 8 late talkers and 8 normal children matched according age, gender and education of mother, were participated. These children did not have any neurological and motor deficit, hearing impairment, autism, and intellectual disabilities.

The mean frequencies of verb and modifier classes to the total words in typical children are significantly more than late talkers.
