Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-4 (April 2020) . - p.1425-1433 Titre : The Production of Pronouns and Verb Inflections by Italian Children with ASD: A New Dataset in a Null Subject Language Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Greta MAZZAGGIO, Auteur ; Aaron SHIELD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1425-1433 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Language development  Pronoun avoidance  Pronoun production Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The language of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often characterized by difficulties with pronouns. The underlying reasons for such difficulties are still unclear. This study is the first to test the abilities of children with ASD who speak Italian, a language in which overt subject pronouns are optional but verbs obligatorily feature person-referencing morphology. We found that Italian children with ASD were less accurate than typically-developing (TD) Italian children in the production of first-, second-, and third-person singular pronouns, avoiding pronouns in favor of nouns or names more often than controls. Moreover, children with ASD produced more overt pronouns than null pronouns in marked contexts, compared to TD children. These phenomena can be accounted for by difficulties with pragmatics.
