Journal of Child language Special Issue on ATYPICAL Language Development

This is a call for papers for a special issue of JCL, focusing on Atypical 
Language Development.  Such papers would include theory and data on 
children who are acquiring their first language in atypical ways, attributable 
to either developmental (i.e., genetic, including but not limited to children 
with autism, Williams Syndrome, Down Syndrome, fragile X syndrome, 
Specific Language Impairment) or acquired (e.g., neonatal or early 
experienced brain damage or maltreatment) etiologies.  Highest priority will 
go to papers which are not just descriptions of the problem in various clinical 
populations, but test theories and/or compare children cross-linguistically.

Relevant questions could involve what the attested language delays and 
deficits reveal about:
-	the processes of language acquisition:  For example, which processes 
of language development proceed similarly to the typical case? Are some 
aspects of language development delayed because of deficits in other aspects 
that need to be acquired first?
-	the representation & organization of language:  For example, do the 
delays/deficits adhere to/follow the subcomponents of language?  To what 
extent do the delays/deficits reveal how language relies on non-linguistic 
cognition?
-	the biology/neuropsychology/genetics of language: For example, what 
is the relationship between the timing of typical and atypical language 
development and different aspects of brain development?  How can we tie 
together processes at the gene, neural, and behavioral levels?

Papers should be a maximum of 10,000 words, but shorter papers would be 
preferred.  The deadline for submission is June 24th 2011. 
Submissions should be made on Manuscript Central: 
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcl
In your covering letter please state that the manuscript is to be considered 
for this special issue. Instructions for Contributors are available on 
Manuscript Central.
