Abstract:

This book puts cognition back at the heart of the language learning process
and challenges the idea that language acquisition can be meaningfully
understood as a purely linguistic phenomenon. For each domain placed under the
spotlight - memory, attention, inhibition, categorisation, analogy and
social-cognition - we examine how they shape the development of sounds, words
and grammar. The unfolding cognitive and social world of the child interacts
with constrains and predicts language use at its deepest levels. The
conclusion is that language is special, not because it is an encapsulated
module separate from the rest of cognition, but because of the forms it can
take rather than the parts it is made of, and because it could be nature's
finest example of cognitive recycling and reuse.
