Language and Williams Syndrome: How Intact is "Intact"?
Karmiloff-Smith, Annette; And Others
Child Development, v68 n2 p246-62 Apr 1997
Examined morphosyntax in persons with Williams Syndrome (WS). Analyzed receptive language of English-speaking WS persons and grammatical gender assignment of French-speaking WS persons. Found within-domain dissociations in grammatical gender assignment across several sentence elements and difficulties in understanding embedded sentences, which suggest that the notion of spared, modular language capacities in WS should be reconsidered.
