Notes on this bibliography

The bibliography is alphabetical by lead author. Entries marked trade are trade-press anchors that did not enter the review through Semantic Scholar or OpenAlex search and that the citation-graph review would have missed without curated reference tracing. Confidence shading on the citation index numbers (left margin) reflects the AE-tier the review uses to grade evidence claims rather than the quality of the work itself: an AE2 citation can be a perfectly rigorous theoretical statement; the AE-tier reflects evidence-type rather than evidence-quality. The methodology document explains the AE scale in full.

Several works in the genealogy timeline are present here in the most-cited form rather than in their earliest form. Singer's 1998 thesis is not in the bibliography because the thesis is not formally published; the Botha-Chapman-Onaiwu-Kapp-Stannard-Ashley-Walker 2024 origins correction is the canonical published reference for the contested attribution. Mel Baggs's video In My Language (2007), Ido Kedar's Ido in Autismland (2012), and Naoki Higashida's The Reason I Jump (2013/2007) are named in the genealogy as load-bearing AAC-user theorist works but are not in the bibliography because the review has not engaged them at depth. Their absence is a visible absence the methodology document records.
