First language acquisition is an integral component of linguistics
research. If one can understand a child's ability to learn a
language, one can better understand the social and phonological
implications of the complexities of language.
This volume displays researchers' findings on first language
acquisition in a variety of the world's languages, reflecting the
diversity of interests in the field and the range of languages
being studied. Contributors discuss a range of topics in first
language acquisition, including children's use of tense, their
ability to formulate coherent clarification requests, and their
knowledge of word order. Other topics examined include the
difficulties experienced by a bilingual child, the difference
between the rhythmic characteristics of children compared to
adults, and children's ability to learn inflectional agreement from
parental speech. The studies included in this volume were presented
at the 30th Child Language Research Forum held at Stanford
University in 1999.
