| Abstract;The development of language in the autistic is discussed from the standpoint of clinical intervention for interpersonal relationships, through critical appraisal of studies on disturbances in language cognition in autism to date. In this paper, Part 2, phenomena commonly regarded as the characteristics of language among autistics in infancy, such as repetitive expression and reversal pronoun are reviewed. In the process, it is shown how the picture of language development long indicated as being peculiar to autism is in fact not specific to the disorder, but is a de facto natural phenomenon within the course of communication development. Upon this understanding, the possibility of the content of our intervention in the developmental stage having large influence on the subsequent course of language development in the autistic individual is discussed. Additionally, their language is portrayed as characteristics of language development, in the context of their being a transitional phase in the development of constructive communication, transcending the perspective of their being pathological pictures in language development by capturing the language development of the autistic child from the standpoint of relational development. Finally, pointing out that the studies on language cognition disturbances in autism to date have dealt with language-a living entity to start with-severed from its relativity and context, the author emphasizes the need to break away from such conventional study of inanimate phenomenon in search of a new paradigm for approaching the phenomenon as a living science.
