讲座摘要 

Children on the autism spectrum engage in social interactions with lower frequency and in different patterns compared with children who are developing typically.This variation in social engagement has afforded many explorations of the significance social interaction as a mechanism n language acquisition.development. and use. The Longitudinal Study of Early Language is a 20+-years-long multi-domain exploration of the language of children on the autism spectrum. including their comprehension via Intermodal Preferential Looking,their production via naturalistic interactions. and their performance in numerous psycholinguistic and clinical assessments. In this talk I will highlight how comprehension findings demonstrating early acquisition of grammatical constructions. combined with wide heterogeneity in language production by these same children.indicate how social engagement plays a targeted rather than universal role in early language.Moreover,investigations of lexical semantics reveal challenges but also promote reconsideration of the definitions of social strengths and weaknesses in both autistic and non-autistic individuals.
