This book presents diverse, original research studies on typical
and atypical child language acquisition in monolingual, bilingual
and bi-dialectal settings, with a focus on development, assessment
and research methodology. Languages investigated in the studies
include underrepresented languages, such as Farsi, Greek,
Icelandic, isiXhosa, Maltese, Mandarin and Slovene, without
excluding representative work in major languages like English and
Spanish. The language areas of focus are phonology, lexicon,
morphology and syntax and the book incorporates studies in
under-researched language impairment, such as Obstructive Sleep
Apnea Syndrome and language impairment in 22q11.2 Deletion
Syndrome. The book has practical significance in that it proposes
tools and assessment practices that are of universal
crosslinguistic relevance while also dealing with language-specific
complications. The studies presented enhance existing knowledge and
stimulate answers on what the acquisition of disparate languages in
different contexts can teach us about language/communication
development in the presence or absence of disorder.
