Through empirical analysis of the verbal behavior of three children with autism, we engage the question of how prototypical features of autistic language—notably pronoun atypicality, pragmatic deficit, and echolalia—might conceal competencies and interactional processes that are largely invisible in mainstream research. Our findings offer a complex picture of children with autism in their use of language to communicate, interact and experience others. Such a picture also deepens our understanding of the interactional underpinnings of autistic children’s speech. Finally, we describe how our findings offer fruitful suggestions for clinical intervention.

Rethinking language in autism / Laura STERPONI in Autism, 19-5 (July 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-5 (July 2015) . - p.517-526 Titre : Rethinking language in autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laura STERPONI, Auteur ; Kenton DE KIRBY, Auteur ; Jennifer SHANKEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.517-526 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  Conversation Analysis  echolalia  language  linguistic anthropology  noncommunicative speech Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this article, we invite a rethinking of traditional perspectives of language in autism. We advocate a theoretical reappraisal that offers a corrective to the dominant and largely tacitly held view that language, in its essence, is a referential system and a reflection of the individual’s cognition. Drawing on scholarship in Conversation Analysis and linguistic anthropology, we present a multidimensional view of language, showing how it also functions as interactional accomplishment, social action, and mode of experience. From such a multidimensional perspective, we revisit data presented by other researchers that include instances of prototypical features of autistic speech, giving them a somewhat different—at times complementary, at times alternative—interpretation. In doing so, we demonstrate that there is much at stake in the view of language that we as researchers bring to our analysis of autistic speech. Ultimately, we argue that adopting a multidimensional view of language has wide ranging implications, deepening our understanding of autism’s core features and developmental trajectory.
