Abstract:

Modern linguistic theory has been based on the promise of explaining how 
language acquisition can occur so rapidly with such subtlety, and with both 
surprising uniformity and diversity across languages. This handbook provides a 
summary and assessment of how far that promise has been fulfilled, exploring 
core concepts in acquisition theory, including notions of the initial state, 
parameters, triggering theory, the role of competition and frequency, and many 
others, across a variety of syntactic topics that have formed the central 
domains of investigation and debate. These topics are treated from the unique 
perspective of central actors in each domain who have helped shape the 
research agenda. The authors have presented a summary of the data, the 
theories under discussion, and their own best assessments of where each 
domain stands. Providing as well the agenda for future work in the field showing 
both particular needs and general directions that should be pursued in the 
coming decades.
