The central assertion in this volume is that the young child uses
general skills, scaffolded by adults, to acquire the complex
knowledge of sound patterns and the goal-directed behaviors for
communicating ideas through language and producing speech. A
child's acquisition of phonology is seen as a product of her
physical and social interaction capacities supported by input from
adult models about ambient language sound patterns. Acquisition of
phonological knowledge and behavior is a product of this
function-oriented complex system. No pre-existing mental knowledge
base is necessary for acquiring phonology in this view.
Importantly, the child's diverse abilities are used for many other
functions as well as phonological acquisition. Throughout, an
evaluation is made of the research on patterns of typical
development across languages in monolingual and bilingual children
and children with speech impairments affecting various aspects of
their developing complex system. Also considered is the status of
available theoretical perspectives on phonological acquisition
relative to an emergence proposal, and contributions that this
perspective could make to more comprehensive modeling of the nature
of phonological acquisition are proposed. The volume will be of
interest to cognitive psychologists, linguistics, and speech
pathologists.
