Amaç: Çocuklarda dil becerileri ile kekemelik ilişkisi uzun yıllardır tartışılmaya devam edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada kekemelik ve dil becerileri arasındaki ilişkinin detaylı bir şekilde ele alınması amaçlanmış, kekemeliği olan çocukların dil becerileri, dil becerilerinin kekemelik başlangıcı ile spontan iyileşme üzerindeki etkisi ve yürütücü işlevler, dil ve kekemelik ilişkisi ile ilgili araştırmalar sentezlenmiştir. Yöntem: Çalışmada geleneksel derleme yöntemi kullanılmış olup alanyazındaki çocuklarda kekemelik ve dil ilişkisiyle ilgili olan makaleler taranmıştır. Bulgular: Kekemeliği olan ve olmayan çocukların dil becerilerini standardize dil testleriyle grup olarak kıyaslandığında tartışmalı sonuçlar elde edildiği görülmüştür. Kekemeliği olan çocukların dil becerilerinin kekemeliği olmayan çocuklardan daha zayıf olduğunu ortaya koyan birçok çalışma bulunmasına rağmen böyle bir genelleme yapmak mümkün değildir. Diğer yandan kekemeliği olan çocukların dil bileşenleri arasında performans dengesizliklerinin kekemeliği olmayan çocuklardan daha fazla olduğuna yönelik kanıtlara ulaşılmıştır. Hem yaşıtlarından daha zayıf dil becerilerinin hem de daha gelişmiş dil becerilerinin kekemeliğin başlangıcı ve devamlılığı için risk faktörü olabileceği görülmüştür. Araştırmalar kekemeliği olan çocukların dili kodlama, planlama, geri çağırma becerileri ve yürütücü işlevlerle ilgili sorunlar yaşadıklarına işaret etmektedir. Sonuç: Alanyazındaki araştırmalar doğrultusunda kekemeliğin değerlendirilmesinde kekemeliği olan çocukların dil becerilerinin de detaylı olarak incelenmesi gerektiği, dil becerilerinde bir yetersizlik görülmesi durumunda bu becerilere yönelik müdahalelerin kekemelik terapisine dahil edilmesi uygun olacaktır. Kekemeliği olan çocukların dil becerilerinde görülen zayıflıklar veya farklılıkların dili kodlama, planlama ve üretme aşamalarının hangisinden ya da hangilerinden kaynaklandığını açıklayabilmek için daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir.
