Early Word Learning explores the processes leading to a young child
learning words and their meanings. Word learning is here understood
as the outcome of overlapping and interacting processes, starting
with an infant's learning of native speech sounds to segmenting
proto-words from fluent speech, mapping individual words to
meanings in the face of natural variability and uncertainty, and
developing a structured mental lexicon. Experts in the field review
the development of early lexical acquisition from empirical,
computational and theoretical perspectives to examine the
development of skilled word learning as the outcome of a process
that begins even before birth and spans the first two years of
life. Drawing on cutting-edge research in infant eye-tracking,
neuroimaging techniques and computational modelling, this book
surveys the field covering both established results and the most
recent advances in word learning research. Featuring chapters from
international experts whose research approaches the topic from
these diverse perspectives using different methodologies, this book
provides a comprehensive yet coherent and unified representation of
early word learning. It will be invaluable for both undergraduate
and postgraduate courses in early language development as well as
being of interest to researchers interested in lexical development.
