T1 - Diagnosis and treatment in Williams-Beuren syndrome (WOS) : Guidelines of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Williams-Beuren Syndrome Association N2 - Williams-Beuren syndrome is a contiguous gene syndrome caused by a hemizygous microdeletion of DNA in 7q11.23 and its prevalence is estimated at 1 : 7500. The symptoms are variable. In addition to the typical craniofacial dysmorphia, cardiovascular malformations, renal malformations, motor and mental retardation, a characteristic personality profile, and disorders of growth and puberty are common. In contrast, hypercalcaemia and nephrocalcinosis, though frequently reported, are rarely encountered. Healthcare guidelines including diagnostic procedures and follow-up examinations as well as treatments are presented. These guidelines are based on the scientific literature and the personal experience that members of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Williams-Beuren Syndrome Association have recorded in more than 400 patients Y1 - 2005 SN - 0026-9298 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Nubel, K.

In this article we present the results of 2 experiments that investigated whether German children between 12 and 16 months of age can use distributional knowledge that determiners precede nouns and subject pronouns precede verbs to syntactically categorize adjacent novel words. Evidence from the head-turn preference paradigm shows that, although 12- to 13-month-olds cannot do this, 14- to 16-month-olds are able to use a determiner to categorize a following novel word as a noun. In contrast, no categorization effect was found for a novel word following a subject pronoun. To understand this difference we analyzed adult child-directed speech. This analysis showed that there are in fact stronger co-occurrence relations between determiners and nouns than between subject pronouns and verbs. Thus, in German determiners may be more reliable cues to the syntactic category of an adjacent novel word than are subject pronouns. We propose that the capacity to syntactically categorize novel words, demonstrated here for the first time in children this young, mediates between the recognition of the specific morphosyntactic frame in which a novel word appears and the word-to-world mapping that is needed to build up a semantic representation for the novel word.
