The Relation between Age and Mean Length of Utterance in Morphemes
The relationship between child age and mean length of utterance measured in morphemes (MLU) was studied in a sample of 123 middle- to upper-middle-class midwestern children, aged 17 to 59 months, conversing with mothers in free play. A significant correlation was found between age and MLU: r = .88. Age accounted for 78% of the variance when MLU ...

Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) - SLT info
the mean length of utterance is 17/4 = 4.25. What we need to do now is determine the age at which the majority of children would present with a mean length of utterance equivalent to the one our particular child has scored. This is known as the age equivalent. We do this by reading off the age equivalent in Table 1.
