Isbn: 9780521361675 - Exceptional Language Development in Down Syndrome: Implications for the Cognition-language Relationship (cambridge Monographs and Texts in Applied Psycholinguistics) (15 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Like New. First Edition. Publisher's original pale blue hardback with gilt lettered covers. Firm and square, strong joints, just very mildly rubbed. Hence a non-text page is showing a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition. Thus the contents are crisp and fresh. 351 pages. Fully indexed. Advanced language acquisition is possible in spite of serious mental handicap. This is the conclusion reached at the end of a thorough study of the language of a Down syndrome adult woman, exhibiting virtually normal expressive and receptive grammar. This case, presented in this book, is compared to a small number of other exceptional cases of language development in mental retardation. The findings are powerful arguments against the claim that the acquisition of grammar is determined by prior nonlinguistic cognitive achievements.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Is normal language acquisition possible in spite of serious intellectual impairment The answer, it would appear, is positive. This book summarizes and discusses recent evidence in this respect. The bulk of the argument comes from the in depth study of a Down Syndrome adult woman with standard trisomy 21, exhibiting virtually normal expressive and receptive grammar. The case is compared to a small number of other exceptional cases of language development in mental retardation, as published in the recent specialized literature. Cases such as those are powerful arguments against 'cognition drives language' or better 'cognition drives grammar' theories and hypotheses. Data analysis and comparison with other empirical indications in language pathology (specific language impaired children, aphasic syndromes, degenerative syndromes, dementias) suggest dividing lines in the language system relevant to the modularity problem. Also, comparison of data on language exceptional and language-typical mentally retarded subjects supplies interesting arguments in favor of a conception of grammatical development as the gradual unfolding of innate species-specific dispositions, which are prevented to be realized ontogenetically in typical mental retardates for reason of the anomalies of early brain development in these subjects.…
