Description
Our understanding of language begins before birth, as babies in the womb distinguish their mother's voice. This book offers a comprehensive overview of language development, from fetal speech processing to the sophisticated linguistic accomplishments of adolescence. A collaboration between two scholars, Kyra Karmiloff and Annette Karmiloff-Smith, provides a nuanced and open-minded approach to understanding how language users appropriate words and grammar. They evaluate different theories of language acquisition, consider the phenomenon of atypical language development, and explore the specificity of human language in modern living. Through real-world examples and psychological laboratory findings, this book presents a detailed exploration of the pathways to language acquisition, allowing readers to survey the complexity and breadth of this fascinating topic.
