The present study aims to focus a common ground on both investigation areas: Language Acquisition and Language Pathology, as far as it may concern the autism question. In that sense, the scratch line of the study consists of the analysis on the repetition and on the error pertaining to the child’s verbal production at an early stage of his/her linguistic course. Based upon such a study, some issues about echolalia have been brought into question by taking up a boy who have been diagnosed as autist.
