| Research Abstract |
This research investigated pragmatic abilities of children with pervasive developmental disorders(PDD) , in order to provide support for them to develop their pragmatic abilities.
The results were that (1) the PDD children have sensitivity to discourse-pragmatic constraints in language similar to the typically developing (TD)children. However
(2) the PDD children used significantly less non-linguistic pragmatic information, than the TD children, suggesting that, unlike TD children, children with PDDdo not use them effectively in order to specify intended referents.
This finding is consistent with the view that PDD children’s ineffective use of non-linguistic pragmatic information, would result in their poor pragmatic abilities.
