new book

[Susana López Ornat]

Equial (www.ucm.es/info/equial) has finished and published the european  Spanish version of the MacArthur CDIs.  TEA (Madrid) is the publisher.
This work includes, for the first time in these Inventories, a section on Vocalizations, both for CDI-1 and CDI-2.
It has also added certain innovations in the Grammar parts, which make it easier for parents to understand and reply, and it includes three types of responses for every grammatical structure.
Its use for research is basic, as it contains a rich description of the acquisition process of Spanish, from ages 8 to 30 months, and a norming study which allows translinguistic comparisons.
Its use for clinical applications is strongly recommended, both in pediatrics and in pedagogy.
The norming study has been done on a sample of 1.105 children from all Spain.
