The purpose of this study was to compare the pragmatic performance of students from two adolescent groups-students receiving English as a second language (ESL) instruction versus bilingual students receiving speech-language (BSL) therapy.

The findings of this study indicated that the BSL students differed from the ESL students in expressing themselves, establishing greetings, initiating and maintaining conversations, listening to a speaker, and cueing the listener regarding topic changes.

"With the availability of the newer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRis), concern over a 'cholinergie rebound' seemed unnecessary since these agents demonstrate little or no anticholinergic activity.
