The development of emergent literacy skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a growing subject of inquiry in the field of communication sciences and disorders; however, few studies have investigated the relationship between oral language skills and emergent literacy as a function of various language phenotypes of children with ASD. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between oral language abilities in various domains and emergent literacy skills as a function of two language phenotypes, ASD Language Normal (ALN) and ASD Language Impaired (ALI). These phenotypes were determined based on the standardized test scores of a nonword repetition measure of phonological memory. Domains of oral language assessed included semantics (definitional vocabulary and lexical retrieval), morphology, syntax, and pragmatics (receptive/expressive language). Emergent literacy skills assessed in this study include phonological awareness and print knowledge. The participants consisted of 11 children diagnosed with ASD between the ages of 4 years 0 months and 5 years 11 months. Of those 11 participants, 4 were classified in the ALN phenotype and 7 in the ALI phenotype. Significant positive correlations were found between the oral language skills of definitional vocabulary, syntax, morphology, and pragmatics, and phonological awareness. No significant correlations were found between print knowledge and oral language skills with the exception of lexical retrieval. Furthermore, phonological awareness performance was found to be significantly different as a function of phenotype, while print knowledge was not. ALN participants demonstrated greater abilities in phonological awareness than ALI participants, while print knowledge skills were strong in both phenotype groups. These results demonstrate a significant relationship between phonological awareness performance and oral language domains, as well as ASD language phenotype. Overall, participants in the ALN phenotype had significantly higher scores in measures of vocabulary, syntax, morphology, pragmatics, and phonological awareness. Scores on these standardized tests indicate a distinct emergent literacy profile for both ALN and ALI participants, with oral language domains that are significantly related to phonological awareness ability. These profiles and their relationship with measures of oral language should be considered when evaluating and formulating treatment goals for preschool aged children with ASD.

This essay reflects on the fact that as we learn more about the biological underpinnings of our language faculty, the dominant evolutionary narrative coming out of the linguistic tradition most explicitly oriented towards biology ("biolinguistics") appears increasingly implausible. This text offers ways of opening up linguistic inquiry and fostering interdisciplinarity, taking advantage of new opportunities to provide quantitative, testable hypotheses concerning the complex evolutionary path that led to the modern human language faculty. The essay is structured around three main themes: (i) renewed appreciation for the comparative method applied to cognitive questions, leading to the identification of elementary but fundamental abstractions in non-linguistic species relevant to language; (ii) awareness of the conceptual gaps between disciplines, and the need to carefully link genotype and phenotype without bypassing any "intermediate" levels of description (certainly not the brain); and(iii) adoption of a "philosophical" outlook that puts the complexity of biological entities front and center.

In its second edition, this book offers a practical introduction to the phonology of English, dealing with topics such as articulatory, acoustic and auditory phonetics, the phonological system of English, English vowels, diphthongs and consonants or speech and prosody. Similarly, the volume includes a glossary of specific terminology, and all chapters present activities to practice what has been learned about the topic, as well as a quiz to test the knowledge acquired. Designed to be used on its own if necessary, this volume provides a wide range of online activities at anglotic.blogs.uv.es, designed specifically for this volume, but could be used as supplementary material for learning English.

"Generative Phonology" offers an overview of the post-SPE theory of generative phonology and is suitable for linguists not specializing in phonology, who want to keep abreast of the latest developments in the subject. It deals with all the major trends in what has come to be known as "non-linear" phonology, including: particle phonology; dependancy phonology; government and charm phonology. Iggy Roca guides the reader through the developments of the various approaches, justifying their rationale against the background of SPE machinery, and providing the reader with the basic tools necessary to penetrate current problems and debates. This text aims to integrate the modules and proposals of what can seem a fragmentary field, into a cohesive body of living theory.

This book provides an overview of current issues in variation and gradience in phonetics, phonology and sociolinguistics. It contributes to the growing interest in gradience and variation in theoretical phonology by combing research on the factors underlying variability and systematic quantitative results with theoretical phonological considerations. Variation is inherent to language, and one of the aims of phonological theory is to describe and explain the mechanisms underlying variation at every level of phonological representation. Variation below the segment concerns articulatory, acoustic and perceptual cues that contribute to the formation of natural classes of sounds. At the segmental level there are grammatical differences in the production and perception of contextual variation of segments and in the syntagmatic constraints on the combination of segments. At the suprasegmental level the mapping of tones to grammatical functions and vice versa is discussed. Further aspects addressed in this book are factors outside of language: Variation that arises as a result of a particular dialect or of belonging to a certain age group, or variation that is the consequence of language change. Gradience and variation have always been a central issue in phonetic and sociolinguistic research. Gradience introduces variation in phonology as well. If a phonetic entity can be pronounced in different ways, depending on the environment, prosodic factors or dialectal influences, this ‘gradience’ may introduce ‘variation’, which we understand as a stable state of grammar.

This book examines some of the ways in which linguists can express what native speakers know about the sound system of their language. Intended for the absolute beginner, it requires no previous background in linguistics, phonetics or phonology. Starting with a grounding in phonetics and phonological theory, the book provides a base from which more advanced treatments may be approached. It begins with an examination of the foundations of articulatory and acoustic phonetics, moves on to the basic principles of phonology, and ends with an outline of some further issues within contemporary phonology. Varieties of English, particularly Received Pronunciation and General American, form the focus of consideration, but aspects of the phonetics and phonology of other languages are discussed as well. This new edition includes more discussion of Optimality Theory and a new glossary of terms. It has been updated throughout to take account of the latest developments in phonological theory, but without sacrificing the book's ease of use for beginners.
