What are some types of discourse to elicit in language samples and how can they be elicited?
3 types of discourse:
Conversational
“alternating turns with one or two utterances per turn allow speakers to rely primarily on utterance-level discourse planning”
Narrative
“fictional narratives/stories and personal narratives/recounts”
Sample Prompt: “Tell me about your favorite family vacation.” “Tell me the story of Cinderella.”
Shown to elicit longer sample than conversational
Expository
“discourse that conveys factual or technical information such as descriptions, procedural directions, or cause-effect explanations”
Sample Prompt: “What is your favorite game? Teach me how to play”
May be better for children in later elementary, middle school

How do you calculate MLU?
Divide the total number of morphemes by the total number of utterances in a language sample.
Try to get a sample of at least 100 utterances.
Norms are 12-26 months - MLU 1.0-2.0
27-30 - MLU 2.0-2.5
31-34 2.5-3.0
35-40 3.0-3.75
41-46 MLU 3.75-4.5
47+ MLU 4.5+
