The vast majority of research on language in ASD has focused on pragmatic difficulties, while less is known about structural aspects of language in this population. Work on syntax and phonology is not only sparse, but the heterogeneity in these grammatical domains has moreover led to conflicting reports that they are either intact or impaired. More remains to be understood about variations in grammatical profiles in ASD, as well as the relation of grammar to other cognitive abilities. The body of research gathered here increases our understanding of the grammatical strengths and weaknesses in ASD. The contributions carefully elucidate the relations between grammar and other areas of cognition, as well as unveil the similarities and differences of grammar in ASD compared to other conditions. The result is a volume that provides new ways to think about language and communication in ASD, and beyond, which should be of interest to both linguists and clinicians. 606 $aPsychology$2bicssc 610 $aA' movement 610 $aAsperger Syndrome 610 $aAutism Spectrum Disorders 610 $ac-command 610 $aControl 610 $aDLI 610 $afiniteness 610 $apragmatics 610 $asyntax 610 $aWh- questions 615 7$aPsychology 700 $aAnna Gavarró$4auth$02004754 702 $aStephanie Durrleman$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911115618503321 996 $aInvestigating Grammar in Autism Spectrum Disorders$94790730 997 $aUNINA
