It is my great pleasure to introduce this special issue on specific language impairment (SLI). The special issue re-examines the diagnostic criteria for SLI and questions whether the term ‘SLI’ should continue be used as a diagnostic label for children with ‘unexplained language problems’ (the term used by Bishop 2014 in her lead article).
