The document is a reference list of scholarly articles focused on specific language impairment (SLI) and its relationship with brain structure and function. It includes studies on brain abnormalities, language development after brain injuries, and the neurobiology of SLI. The references highlight various aspects of how SLI affects language capability and the underlying neural mechanisms involved.
