The first Czech version of MAIN was published in 2020 and was piloted in 2020–2021. Subsequently, a revised Czech version of MAIN was created. This article introduces this latest version of MAIN, describes minor changes to the manual caused by typological features of Czech and a specific cultural context, and presents sample analyses of the pilot data collected from typically-developing and hearing-impaired children. The results from the pilot study indicate that MAIN functions properly in the Czech context, in particular for preschool children. The results show that MAIN can be fruitfully applied to assess speech and language skills in hearing-impaired children in the Czech context.</p>}, journal={ZAS Papers in Linguistics}, author={Nováková Schöffelová, Miroslava and Saicová Římalová, Lucie and Mikulajová, Marína and Homolková, Kamila}, year={2023}, month={März}, pages={7–21} }
