Description
Understanding Child Language Acquisition by Caroline Rowland provides an accessible overview of key research findings and influential theories in child language acquisition over the last fifty years. The book explores why these research findings are important, what they reveal about how children acquire language, and how this knowledge can be applied across languages. Rowland's approach is cross-linguistic, examining how language acquisition differs between languages and highlighting similarities and differences. The book includes exercises to test comprehension, chapters organised around key questions, and further reading suggestions to broaden understanding of the subject. This comprehensive introduction makes it an ideal resource for students of linguistics, psychology, and speech and language therapy. A companion website offers additional support, featuring interactive comprehension exercises, extension activities, chapter recaps, and answers to exercises within the book.
