Description
Language Acquisition: The Basics provides an accessible introduction to the key issues in child language development. Drawing on contemporary psychology, linguistics and neuroscience, this book explores fundamental concepts, methods, controversies and discoveries.
The journey of language acquisition is followed as children develop from sensitivity to language before birth to stringing their first words together, and from playful use of language to complex storytelling and conversation.
With examples from seventy-three different languages, Paul Ibbotson sets this development in a diverse cross-cultural context, highlighting the universal psychological foundations that allow language to happen. This concise beginner's guide is ideal for students, teachers, clinicians or anyone interested in language development, with further reading suggestions and a glossary of key terms included.
