A Developmental Pragmatics Analysis of Communication: Case Study of a Mute Autistic Child.
Kuroda, Yoshitaka
Japanese Journal of Special Education, v25 n2 p61-67 Sep 1987
Work with a mute, autistic, severely handicapped girl over five years (ages 7-11) is analyzed using developmental pragmatics. While she often used interactive acts leading to environmental consequences, she was almost never observed using any that led to a social consequence. She learned to point and gesture but not voluntarily. (Author/VW)
