Language Acquisition and Conceptual Development
Editors
Melissa Bowerman, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, The Netherlands
Stephen C. Levinson, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics,The Netherlands
Recent years have seen a revolution in our knowledge of how children
learn to think and speak. In this volume, leading scholars from these
rapidly evolvingfields of research examine the relationship between
child language acquisitionand cognitive development, bringing two
vital strands of investigation intoclose dialog. The book explains
important new ideas about how language acquisition interacts with the
process of early cognition, providing original empirical contributions
based on a variety of languages, populations and ages as well as
theoretical discussions that bridge psychology, linguistics and
anthropology.

Langauge and Gesture
Editor
David McNeill
University of Chicago
This landmark study examines the role of gestures in relation to
speech and thought. Leading scholars, including psychologists,
linguists and anthropologists, offer state-of-the-art analyses to
demonstrate that gestures are not merely an embellishment of speech
but are integral parts of language itself. The volume contributes to a
rapidly growing field of study, offering a wide range of theoretical
perspectives. It has strong cross-linguistic and cross-cultural
components, examining gestures by speakers of Mayan, Australian, East
Asian, as well as English and European languages.
