Abstract:

This volume brings together work by scholars with backgrounds in
linguistics, psycholinguistics, developmental psychology, education, and
language pathology. As such, the book adds psycholinguistic and
crosslinguistic perspectives to the clinical and classroom approaches that
have dominated the study of "later language development". Incorporating
insights from prior language acquisition research, it goes beyond preschool
age to consider both isolated utterances and extended discourse,
conversational interactions and monologic text construction, and both
written and spoken language use from early school-age across adolescence.
Data from French, Hebrew, Spanish, and Swedish as well as English cover
varied domains: morphology and lexicon, syntax and verb-argument structure,
as well as peer interaction, spelling, processing of on-line writing, and
reading poetry. The epilogue suggests explanations for the findings
documented. Across the book, the authors show how cognitive and social
maturation combines with increased literacy in the path taken by
schoolchildren and adolescents towards the flexible deployment of a growing
repertoire of lexical elements in varied morpho-syntactic constructions and
different discourse contexts that constitutes the hallmark of maturely
proficient language use.
