Description
The Usage-based Study of Language Learning and Multilingualism by Lourdes Ortega, Andrea E. Tyler, Hae In Park, and Mariko Uno explores how humans learn languages and create shared meaning through local communication with others. This collection of original studies presents cutting-edge research in usage-based linguistics, shedding light on the process of acquiring language that is common to both infants and adults across various contexts. The authors examine diverse methodologies and target languages, including Cantonese, English, French, and many more. By understanding how language learning works, this book offers a valuable contribution to the growing area of linguistic research, providing insights into the complex interactions between language acquisition and meaningful communication.
