This course provides an overview of current research on atypical oral language acquisition. This topic will be addressed from a psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic perspective. The methodology used in psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic research will be presented before exploring the linguistic semiology of disorders, and the role of cognition, neurobiology, genetics and environment in language disorders. Different types of pathologies/disorders will be addressed (language disorders and intellectual disability, aphasia, epilepsy, deafness, etc.). The focus will be on Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and formal language disorders in individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This course will enable students to acquire up-to-date knowledge on atypical oral language development and overcome certain “received ideas”. It will also enable them to take a more critical approach to international research on the topic addressed as well as on the methodologies used for language assessment. Students will also understand the speech-language pathology issues related to current research on atypical oral language acquisition.
