Phonemic awareness and phonetic skill are the backbones of
phonological theory. In phonological acquisition, the presence or
lack of the former crucially determines the outcome of the latter.
This inescapably becomes a common thread that interweaves
developmental phonology in both childhood and adulthood. Child and
adult-learner speech in the course of development constitute
separate linguistic systems in their own right: they are
intermediate states whose endpoint is, or ought to be, mastery of
targeted speech either in a first or a second language. These
intermediate states form the theme of the proposed book that
introduces the term protolanguage (to refer to child language in
development) and juxtaposes it with interlanguage (to refer to
language development in adulthood). Though major languages like
English and Spanish are not excluded, there is an emphasis in the
book on under-reported languages: monolingual Hungarian and Swedish
and bilingual combinations, like Greek-English and German-English.
There is also an emphasis on under-represented studies in IL: L2
German from L1 French; L2 English from Catalan and Portuguese; and
in dialectal acquisition of Ecuadorian Spanish from Andalusian
speakers. This volume brings together different methodological
approaches with a stress on both phonetic and phonological
analysis. The volume has a focus on links between developmental
perspectives in protolanguage (introduced in a specific way here)
and interlanguage (typically associated with second language
development in the post-critical-period). Its strengths are that it
includes: both child and adult developmental perspectives; studies
on less-researched languages and combinations of languages;
descriptive and/or theoretical results from a combination of
methodological approaches (e.g. single-case, cross-sectional;
spontaneous speech samples, narrative retells); a consideration of
speech acquisition in the general context of language. The central
theme underpinning the volume is hoped to motivate a shift in the
general tendency among researchers to specialize in language
subfields (L1 acquisition; L2 acquisition, bilingualism;
typical/atypical language) of what is actually one common
linguistic domain, i.e. the study of speech sounds
(phonology/phonetics).
