Children with ASD performed similarly to typical controls in demonstrating semantic knowledge of simple sentences with ‘some’, and they had delayed knowledge of the complex sentences with ‘every…or…’. Interestingly, the children with ASD had pragmatic knowledge of the scalar implicatures of these logical words, parallel to those of the typical controls. Taken together, the interpretation of logical words may be a relative strength in children with ASD. It is possible that some aspects of semantics and pragmatics may be selectively spared in ASD, due to the contribution the language faculty makes to language acquisition in the ASD population.

Interpretation of wh-words in Mandarin-speaking high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorders / Yi SU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-10 (October 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-10 (October 2014) . - p.1364-1372 Titre : Interpretation of wh-words in Mandarin-speaking high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yi SU, Auteur ; Yu JIN, Auteur ; Guo-Bin WAN, Auteur ; Ji-Shui ZHANG, Auteur ; Lin-Yan SU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1364-1372 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Language acquisition  Wh-words  Prosody  Semantics  Mandarin Chinese Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mandarin wh-words shenme ‘what’ and shei ‘who’ can convey both question readings and statement readings, a distinction of which is subject to intonation cues (rising intonation vs. level intonation) in ambiguous sentences, or is influenced by semantic contexts in unambiguous sentences. In this study, we investigated the interpretation of wh-words in 4–15-year-old Mandarin-speaking high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as a comparison to typically developing (TD) children. The results showed that older children with ASD demonstrated unimpaired knowledge of the access to both readings, either by using intonation cues in ambiguous sentences or via semantic contexts in unambiguous sentences. However, compared to TD controls and older children with ASD, younger children with ASD appeared to have more difficulties with accessing the statement readings of these wh-words, though they had no problems with the question readings. To sum up, the experimental findings demonstrated children with ASD's relative strengths in understanding these linguistic properties specific to the interpretation of the Mandarin wh-words, though a complete capture of this knowledge is subject to a developmental effect. We discussed the results from the perspective the contribution the language faculty makes to language acquisition in children with ASD.

Uneven Expressive Language Development in Mandarin-Exposed Preschool Children with ASD: Comparing Vocabulary, Grammar, and the Decontextualized Use of Language via the PCDI-Toddler Form / Yi Esther SU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-10 (October 2018)

NAIGLES, Auteur ; Lin-Yan SU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3432-3448 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Expressive language profiles  Mandarin Chinese  Pragmatic language  Structural language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Data from children with ASD who are learning Indo-European languages indicate that (a) they vary hugely in their expressive language skills and (b) their pragmatic/socially-based language is more impaired than their structural language. We investigate whether similar patterns of language development exist for Mandarin-exposed children with ASD. Parent report data of the Putonghua Communicative Development Inventory-Toddler Form were collected from 160 17-83-month-old children with ASD. These children with ASD demonstrated similar levels of variability as Western children with ASD. In particular, they could be divided into three distinct subgroups (high verbal, middle verbal, low verbal), all of which manifested relative strengths in lexical and grammatical language compared to pragmatic usage of decontextualized language.
