Investigating Grammar in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD hereafter) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in communicative and social skills. The vast majority of research on language in ASD has focused on pragmatic difficulties, while less is known about structural aspects of language in this population. Work on syntax and phonology is not only sparse, but the heterogeneity in these grammatical domains has moreover led to conflicting reports that they are either intact or impaired. More remains to be understood about variations in grammatical profiles in ASD, as well as the relation of grammar to other cognitive abilities. The body of research gathered here increases our understanding of the grammatical strengths and weaknesses in ASD. The contributions carefully elucidate the relations between grammar and other areas of cognition, as well as unveil the similarities and differences of grammar in ASD compared to other conditions. The result is a volume that provides new ways to think about language and communication in ASD, and beyond, which should be of interest to both linguists and clinicians.

TRANSPOSITIONES 2025 Vol. 4, Issue 1: Water Ecologies across Cultures and Media
This issue, “Water Ecologies across Cultures and Media”, traces how water as element, symbol, and force shapes cosmologies, rituals, arts, and infrastructures across time and place. From medieval mysticism to Southeast Asian ecohorror, the contributions illuminate water’s cultural afterlives as origin, memory, crisis, and transformation.
Trans Materiality and Queer Politics in Troubling Times
The third issue of TRANSPOSITIONES is devoted to trans concepts of materiality and queer politics emerging from the view of the world entangled in the hybrid relationships of matter, gender, human and nonhuman, technology and epistemology derived from Barad’s agential realist interpretation of quantum physics. The central texts in this issue are the German translations of Karen Barad’s article “Trans-Materialities: Trans*/Matter/Realities and Queer Political Imaginings” and Susan Stryker’s essay “My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix. Performing Transgender Rage”. The basic intention of this issue is, therefore, to form a platform for critical discussion of Karen Barad’s method of discursive transposition of approaches, assuming a subversive coexistence of post-secular conversions of the idea of genesis and physically proven sources of planetary life on Earth.
