The Emergence of Phonology

Whole-word Approaches and Cross-linguistic Evidence

Edited by Marilyn Vihman and Tamar Keren-Portnoy(University of York, U)

How well have the classic ideas on whole-word phonology stood the test 
of time? Waterson claimed that each child has a system of their own; 
Ferguson and Farwell emphasised the relative accuracy of first words; 
Menn noted the occurrence of regression as phonological systematicity 
emerges. This volume brings together classic texts such as these with 
current data-rich studies of British and American English, Arabic, 
Brazilian Portuguese, Finnish, French, Japanese, Polish and Spanish. 
This combination of classic and contemporary work from the last 30 years 
presents the reader with cutting-edge perspectives on child language by 
linking historical approaches with current ideas such as exemplar theory 
and usage-based phonology and contrasting state-of-the-art perspectives 
from developmental psychology and linguistics. This is a valuable 
resource for cognitive scientists, developmentalists, linguists, 
psychologists, speech scientists and therapists interested in 
understanding how children begin to use language without the benefit of 
language-specific innate knowledge.
