Abstract:

This classic text now in its tenth edition, The Development of
Language continues its focus on language acquisition in an unbiased,
authoritative, and comprehensive way. Written by leading experts known
for their research in the areas they discuss, this book has a
multidisciplinary approach, and demonstrates the relevance of typical
language development to speech-language pathologists, educators,
clinicians, and those in other professions. Topics include the roots
of language learning in infancy, phonology, syntax/grammar, word
learning, bilingualism, pragmatics, literacy, atypical language
development, and more.

This book provides the reader with an authoritative text that includes
important and useful concepts and research findings. Emphasis is
placed on language development in children who are learning languages
other than, or in addition to, English, as well as children with risk
factors for language delay or disorder. The text leads the reader
through every stage of development—the early months before children
begin to speak, the preschool and school years, and adolescence as
children achieve mastery of adult-like language skills.

Key Features:
-Chapter pedagogy includes learning objectives, visual aids, video
links, summaries, and suggested projects to extend students’
understanding and application of text concepts
-Key terms are highlighted in the text with definitions provided in a
Glossary
-Clear and concise writing by authors who are known for their research
in the subject area and their ability to explain complex topics to a
broad audience
-A multilingual and multicultural focus on acquisition in languages
other than English, on non-mainstream varieties of English and on
children learning two or more languages simultaneously (bilingualism),
as well as children with developmental communication disorders
