Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-394-18036-3 (ISBN)
Language is a critical yet understudied component of profiles across the autism spectrum. Language in Autism is a novel, interdisciplinary textbook that addresses this gap by consolidatingcutting-edge linguistic research and evidence-based insights into a single volume accessible to students, teachers, and professionals from a wide variety of disciplines.
Authored by a team of leading experts affiliated with the Language Abilities in Children with Autism (LACA) network, Language in Autism applies what we know about the nature of human languageto the study of language in autism. With 16 finely crafted chapters, the textbook examines a broad range of issues central to language in autism. These include systematic examination of the different language components (the lexicon, phonology, pragmatics, etc.) as well as an array of topics that cut across these components, such as multilingualism, reading, or language in autism compared to other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Designed with students and professionals in mind, Language in Autism incorporates practical tools such as explanatory text boxes, illustrations and structured chapter layouts to enhance comprehension and foster discussion. Each chapter includes foundational knowledge, real-world study examples, and forward-looking perspectives to inspire future research and intervention strategies. Equipping readers with the knowledge to make evidence-based decisions in clinical, educational, and research settings, Language in Autism:
Features insights from the Language Abilities in Children with Autism (LACA) network, presenting the latest findings from psycholinguistics and clinical linguistics
Follows a consistent and reader-friendly layout, with chapters organized into sections including 'Anchoring', and 'Focus on a Specific Study'
Integrates pedagogical tools such as 'What Do You Think?' and 'What Do You Know Now?', to engage readers in critical thinking and self-assessment and encourage them to pursue deeper understanding of each topic
Provides clear explanations of technical terms and acronyms, supported by accessible summaries and examples to enhance understanding
Includes discussions on emerging directions in language assessment for autistic individuals
Raises clearly and coherently the challenging issues raised by current views of autism and language in autism
Language in Autism is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in psycholinguistics, language acquisition, clinical linguistics, education, and speech-language pathology, as well as for medical students and interns. It is also a valuable reference for speech-language pathologists, teachers, physicians, linguists, clinical researchers, and other professionals working with autistic individuals.
