Abstract:

Editor's note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

How do young children learn language? When does this process start? What does
language acquisition involve? Children are exposed to language from birth,
surrounded by knowledgeable speakers who offer feedback and provide extensive
practice every day. Through conversation and joint activities, children master
the language being used around them. This fully revised third edition of Eve
V. Clark's bestselling textbook offers comprehensive coverage of language
acquisition, from a baby's first sounds to a child's increasing skill in
negotiating, explaining and entertaining with language. This book, drawing
together the most recent findings in the field, and illustrated with examples
from a wide range of experimental and observational studies, including the
author's own diary observations, presents an essential and comprehensive guide
to first language acquisition. It will be fascinating reading for students of
linguistics, developmental psychology, and cognitive science.
