ASD–Time for a paradigm shift
OPINION article Front. Psychiatry, 22 July 2022Sec. Autism https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.956351
Commentary
Happe and Frith (2020) list seven changes in the concept of autism that have taken place since the 80s when autism became the focus of clinical concerns and research interests. These dramatic changes, supported by additional research results, have not convinced Sonuga‐Barke (2020) that a Kuhnian revolution in psychiatric nosology may be at our front door. This commentary will discuss this conclusion, calling on ASD researchers to re‐evaluate the …
Pathways to language
This is a naturalistic study of the development of language in Hebrew-speaking children with Williams syndrome (WS) and children with Down syndrome (DS), whose MLU extended from 1·0 to 4·4. Developmental curves over the entire span of data collection revealed minor differences between children with WS, children with DS, and typically developing (TD) controls of similar MLU. Development within one calendar year showed remarkable synchrony among th…
Language in boys with fragile X syndrome
The current paper reports of language production in 15 Hebrew-speaking boys, aged 9;0–13;0, with fully methylated, non-mosaic fragile X syndrome and no concomitant diagnosis of autism. Contrary to expectations, seven children were non-verbal. Language production in the verbal children was studied in free conversations and in context-bound speech. Despite extra caution in calculating MLU, participants' language level was not predicted by mean utte…
A longitudinal study of language development in two children with Williams syndrome
Williams syndrome (WS) is often cited as the prime example within developmental disorders of the dissociation of language from other cognitive skills, particularly from visuo-motor skills. This claim has been responsible for the challenges posed by this population to cognitive theories and to models of language acquisition. Two Hebrew-speaking children with WS were followed longitudinally for 18 months, from the first occurrences of two word comb…

Early metalinguistic competence
This article examines 2-3-year-olds' responses to specific (e.g., "Where did he go?") and neutral (e.g., "What?") requests for clarification. The focus is on children's ability to locate the linguistic errors that provoked neutral questions of clarification and their success in providing appropriate repair. It is argued that this behavior provides evidence for a speech monitor that detects errors and enables repair. Contrary to A. Karmiloff-Smith…
Language breakdown and linguistic theory
Autonomous linguistic systems in the language of young children
This paper considers cross-linguistic findings concerning the early development of formal, arbitrary, grammatical systems in normal hearing and deaf children and in children with congenital brain abnormalities. The paper reviews evidence showing an early acquisition of grammatical forms. Such learning is typically dissociated from the development of the relevant semantics. Form–function correspondences were not required for the development of mor…

Theoretical Gains From the Study of Bilingualism
The problem of gaining insights into the young child's emerging linguistic competencies has been examined within the field of child language in several ways. The most common studies have been those examining the normal child, in her normal environment, typically interacting with a familiar adult. This study suggests that crucial insights may be gained through an examination of the child's linguistic abilities in cognitively-demanding situations d…
The acquisition of Hebrew plurals
Children's acquisition of noun pluralization patterns in Hebrew was studied longitudinally and cross-sectionally. The data show that, through the period of acquisition (age 2–3), children make maximal use of the available morphophonological clues for pluralization; they determine their choice of the plural morpheme according to the nature of the final syllable of the noun singular. They seem totally insensitive to the semantic notion of gender wh…
