'''Language disorders''' or '''Language impairments''', as they are also called, are disorders that involve the processing of linguistic information. Problems that may be experienced can involve [[grammar]] ([[syntax]] and/or [[morphology (linguistics)|morphology]]), [[semantics]] (meaning), or other aspects of language. These problems may be receptive (involving impaired language comprehension), expressive (involving language production), or a combination of both. Language disorders can effect both spoken and written language, and can also affect [[sign language]]; typically, all forms of language will be impaired.
