Atypical language acquisition in Williams syndrome and the issue of language modularity
Fusa Katada (Waseda Univ.) TL2012-4
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Williams syndrome (WS) is a multisystem genetic disorder caused by microdeletion of about 26 genes, most notably ELN, from chromosome #7 (7q11.23). Despite the syndrome being neurodevelopmental, WS adolescents and adults are marked by dissociations within and across domains of higher cognitive functioning, which raise important issues concerning language acquisition and cognitive modularity. This paper reviews two contrastive positions surrounding the issues: nativist and neuroconstructivist views. It then introduces a rare case with WS in a Japanese individual, which indicates unusual plasticity for language acquisition, and examines logical correlations between atypicality and modularity, that is, modularity within atypicality, rather than modularity or atypicality.
