The relationship between language and other aspects of conceptual
development is one of the central issues in child language
acquisition. One view holds that language is a special capacity,
separate from other areas of cognition and learning. Another
maintains that language is part of a larger, more general cognitive
system, and is crucially dependent on other cognitive domains.
Recent research has turned to blind children and their acquisition
of language as a way of evaluating whether and how language
development relies on the non-linguistic context. Vision and the
Emergence of Meaning addresses this complex problem through a
detailed empirical analysis of early language development in a
group of blind, partially sighted and fully sighted children who
took part in a pioneering longitudinal investigation at the
University of Southern California. By exploring the strategies
which blind children bring to selected aspects of the language
learning task, Anne Dunlea not only identifies some important
differences between blind and sighted children, but also offers new
insights on semantic and pragmatic development in general. Further,
the study demonstrates the role of conceptual information in
language learning and, at a more fundamental level, reveals a
convergence of early language and conceptual development.
