Subject: Trends in Language Acquisition announcement


Dear Child Language Community,
We are honoured to announce the first volume of TiLAR Language
Overviews - an initiative of the book series Trends in Language
Acquisition Research published by John Benjamins. This initiative
honours the 40th anniversary of the publication of Dan Slobin’s edited
volumes The Crosslinguistic Study of Language Acquisition (1985-1997).
TiLAR Language Overviews provide state-of-the-art summaries of
language acquisition research in individual languages and language
families for researchers and practitioners. The aim is to produce full
volumes to cover languages addressed as single chapters in the Slobin
volumes, as well as produce overviews of languages not represented in
the original series.
The first volume is First Language Acquisition in Finno-Ugric
Languages (https://benjamins.com/catalog/tilar.33), edited by Minna
Kirjavainen, Ágnes Lukács and Virve-Anneli Vihman. It contains three
chapters on each of Estonian, Finnish, and Hungarian, as well as one
chapter on North Saami.
Planned future volumes in the series include Korean, Greek, Spanish,
Polish, and Czech, with others in early stages of planning. We are
eagerly seeking proposals for further volumes - please contact us for
more information.
Best,
Evan Kidd and Shanley Allen, TiLAR Series Editors.

Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition

Language Family(ies): Finno-Ugric
