Il Ministero finanzia un altro PRIN

Il Progetto PRIN “A technology-driven linguistic intervention for children with language and literacy weaknesses” è stato finanziato dal Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca!

Il progetto coinvolge Maria Teresa Guasti, Denis Delfitto (Università di Verona) e Franca Garzotto (Politecnico di Milano) e avrà come scopo quello di sviluppare sistemi tecnologici avanzati che integrino l’approccio psicolinguistico, al fine di promuovere la competenza linguistica orale e scritta in bambini a sviluppo tipico con debolezze linguistiche dovute ad una acquisizione L2, in bambini con disturbo primario del linguaggio e in bambini con dislessia.

  • BIL Seminar "What does atypicality really mean? Language acquisition in autism" - Mikhail Kissine febbraio 10, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm U6, Sala Lauree, Terzo piano

    Abstract
    "Research on language in autism mostly explores delayed acquisition or atypical use, the reference point being language in non-autistic individuals. Such approaches focus on language disability, but somewhat downplay the acquisition routes that may be specific to autism. More specifically, typical language development is known to be intimately linked to socio-pragmatic, joint communicative experiences. Early-onset and life-long atypicality in the socio-communicative domain are core characteristics of autism, and likely explain why language onset is often significantly delayed in autistic children. However, it is also usually assumed that language trajectories in autism should be correlated with an increase of socio-communicative skills, such as joint attention. In this talk, I will review evidence that some autistic individuals may, in fact, acquire language in spite of persisting strong socio-communicative disabilities. I will also present new results that show that some autistic children are interested in language in and of itself, independently of its communicative function, and display enhanced sensitivity to the acoustic and structural properties of the linguistic input."
