Description
This comprehensive guide to first language acquisition explores how young children learn and master language. From a baby's first sounds to a child's increasing skill in negotiating, explaining, and entertaining with language, this fully revised third edition offers an essential overview of the process.
Drawing on recent findings in linguistics, developmental psychology, and cognitive science, the book presents examples from experimental and observational studies, including the author's own diary observations. This authoritative text is a valuable resource for students of these fields.
