Prosody is the features of the speech which are identified with regard to intonation, tone, rhythm, and stress. Specific language impairment (SLI) is a developmental language disorder; its diagnosis is based on specific language features and below-average language functioning on standardized tests measuring expressive and receptive language performance, normal nonverbal performance on psychologists’ tests, and exclusion of any known disorder or disease which could interfere with normal language development. Children with SLI have both prosodic input processing and production disability. This study included 30 Egyptian children with specific language impairment and 30 normal children as a control group, their ages ranged between 4 and 6 years. By using the protocol of prosodic assessment which was especially designed to assess prosodic abilities in Arabic speaking children, this study concluded that SLI children had defective subjective and objective scores of prosodic assessment skills.
