Abstract
The phonologic, syntactic and semantic competencies of the oral language of five college students who presented similar symptoms of developmental dyslexia were studied with the aid of ecologically valid tasks and other indirect procedures. It was found that the linguistic competence of the dyslexic subjects was as good as that of a control group of normal readers. It was concluded that developmental dyslexia can co-exist with intact oral language and that printed language which involves the grapheme-phoneme conversion process and not oral language is the underlying causative factor of the reading difficulties experienced by this group of dyslexic subjects.
