Abstract:

In recent years the field has seen an increasing realisation that the full
complexity of language acquisition demands theories that (a) explain how
children integrate information from multiple sources in the environment, (b)
build linguistic representations at a number of different levels, and (c)
learn how to combine these representations in order to communicate
effectively. These new findings have stimulated new theoretical perspectives
that are more centered on explaining learning as a complex dynamic interaction
between the child and her environment. This book is the first attempt to bring
some of these new perspectives together in one place. It is a collection of
essays written by a group of researchers who all take an approach centered on
child-environment interaction, and all of whom have been influenced by the
work of Elena Lieven, to whom this collection is dedicated.
