Through the comparison using proportions test, it was verified that there were variations on mother’s conversation directed to these two groups of children. The analysis of the mother’s semantic contingency pointed that the used continuity expressions with children that presented typical language development. It was observed that children with late development in expressive language received more directive expressions, and mothers presented more requests to children with typical language development. data were analyzed considering that children with typical language development presented more spontaneous speech and adequate verbal answers, and children with late development in expressive language presented more non-verbal answers, spontaneous repetition and no answers.
