Abstract: 

Williams Syndrome (WS), aka Williams Beuren Syndrome, is a developmental
disorder that we have known about for some forty years. The cause for
WS was detected only recently: a micro deletion on chromosome 7, more
specifically at the region of chromosome 7q11.23. The cognitive and
behavioral profile in WS is characterized by a marked discrepancy
between verbal and non-verbal skills combined with relatively spared
linguistic skills. Recent research has shown considerable progress
defining the areas of intactness in linguistic abilities. This volume
builds on that research, giving an overview of the psycholinguistic
research undertaken and opening up new perspectives and insights through
new data and analyses. This book is of interest to researchers of
applied cognitive science and to linguists more occupied with
theoretical research.
