New book announcement: 'Pragmatic Development in First Language Acquisition' (TILAR 10)

[Rowland, Caroline]

Dear all

Please find attached a flyer for an exciting new book in the TiLaR series:

'Pragmatic Development in First Language Acquisition', edited by Danielle Matthews.

Pragmatic development is increasingly seen as the foundation stone of language acquisition more generally. From very early on, children demonstrate a strong desire to understand and be understood that motivates the acquisition of lexicon and grammar and enables ever more effective communication. In the 35 years since the first edited volume on the topic, a flourishing literature has reported on the broad set of skills that can be called pragmatic. This volume aims to bring that literature together in a digestible format. It provides a series of succinct review chapters on 19 key topics ranging from preverbal skills right up to irony and argumentative discourse. Each chapter equips the reader with an overview of current theories, key empirical findings and questions for new research. This valuable resource will be of interest to scholars of psychology, linguistics, speech therapy, and cognitive science.

Best wishes,

Caro
