Subject: Linguistic Research on Dyslexia

 
Most of the research published on dyslexia seems to be psycholinguistic or
neurolinguistic in nature. Not many studies are, to the best of my knowledge,
carried out from a linguistic perspective. Moreover, most research in foreign
language learning and dyslexia focuses on English. I was wondering whether
there are other linguists out there studying dyslexia from a linguistic
perspective (e.g. vocabulary knowledge and learning in people with dyslexia,
pragmatic skills and dyslexia, language learning and dyslexia in languages
other than English). Nowadays, we seem to have reached a good level of
understanding of the cognitive and biological nature of the deficit, but its
linguistic nature seems to be somewhat neglected in the literature. I would be
very thankful if other linguists working in this field could point me towards
studies in this area. Thank you.
