(19) Measures administered included the Western Aphasia Battery, Test for Syntactic Complexity, and Chomsky Test of Syntax.
(20) Results were that parents' signed mean lengths of utterance (MLUs) were lower than those of their children although the majority of their sign utterances were syntactically intact.
Transformation
Definition:
(n.) The act of transforming, or the state of being transformed; change of form or condition.
(n.) Any change in an organism which alters its general character and mode of life, as in the development of the germ into the embryo, the egg into the animal, the larva into the insect (metamorphosis), etc.; also, the change which the histological units of a tissue are prone to undergo. See Metamorphosis.
(n.) Change of one from of material into another, as in assimilation; metabolism; metamorphosis.
(n.) The imagined possible or actual change of one metal into another; transmutation.
(n.) A change in disposition, heart, character, or the like; conversion.
(n.) The change, as of an equation or quantity, into another form without altering the value.
Example Sentences:
