History of theories in language acquisition

[Isa Barriere]

Hi Ben,

1. My very very dear friend Jeffrey Wollock reviews many theories both on
typical and atypical development from Aristotle to the 17th century in "The
Noblest Animate motion' published by Johns Benjamins and he has since
written a couple of articles that are probably in press on the 18th
century.  The book is based on his PhD that he did at Oxford and one of his
examiners was John Marshall.
There is another book by a female author Nancy???? on the 16th century but
it is not as thorough as Jeffrey's.I have it on my shelf in my office:
please let me know if you need the full reference.


2.  In *Barriere, I* & Lorch, M. P. (2004) Premature thoughts on writing
disorders. *Neurocase*. Vol. 10 (2): 91-108, we discussed a little bit the
relation between ontogeny, phylogeny, order of acquisition and dissociation
in acquired disorders.

3.  Paula Hallal and Marjorie Lorch have authored a number of papers based
on 19th century archives in London, including the 1st case of 'childhood
aphasia', based on Paula's PhD dissertation devoted to that history: check
the webpage of Marjorie Lorch/ Birkbeck College.

4.  You may also find a few references to language development in the thick
book on 'the history of child neurologists': again please let me know if
you need the exact reference.  Sorry can't remember the authors on top of
my head.

5.  There has been a few detailed papers on Knox who was one of the first
child neurologist in the US and who spent much time designing test
including cross-cultural and cross-linguistic tests for children and grown
ups in Staten Island (with Seguin who was a student of Bourneville who was
a student of Charcot).  Again the author (john something) escapes me but he
is a membebr of the International Society of the History of Neurosciences.

I hope this helps,

Yours,

Isabelle
