Abstract:

Explorations of language development in different types of learner populations
and across various languages.

This volume examines language development in different types of learner
populations and across various languages. The contributors analyze
experimental studies of child and adult language acquisition, heritage
language development, bilingualism, and language disorders. They consider
theoretical and methodological issues; language development in children,
discussing topics that range from gestures to errors in person and number
agreement; and development and attrition of (morpho)syntactic constructions in
second language learners, bilinguals, and Alzheimer's patients.

The approach is “crosslinguistic” in three senses of the word: the
contributors offer analyses of acquisition phenomena in different languages;
they consider “crosslinguistic influence,” or the potential effects of
multiple languages on one another in the mind of the same speaker; and (in a
novel use of the term, proposed by the editors) the chapters bring together
theoretical and methodological approaches pertinent to the linguistics of
language development in children, adults, and heritage speakers.
