Emily Stanford

fe13883cee2365c0974773c04d731b17_f1025Emily Stanford ha un Dottorato in Linguistica conseguito all’Università di Ginevra con una specializzazione in Psicolinguistica.

Nella sua attuale ricerca post-dottorale all’Università di Ginevra, che è un’estensione del progetto Europeo ‘Syntactic Cartography and Locality in Adult Grammar and Language Acquisition (SynCart)’, sta indagando se l’acquisizione della sintassi nello sviluppo tipico è determinata dalla geometria dell’albero sintattico.

Inoltre, è la destinataria di un bando di mobilità post-dottorale rilasciato dalla Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) tramite il quale è attualmente in visita presso l’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. La sua ricerca legata a questo bando intende esaminare la validità diagnostica di nuove misure indipendenti dal linguaggio nella valutazione di deficit sintattici in bambini multilingui.

  • 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."
