This textbooks introduces the main arguments for an innate, domain
specific capacity to learn human language. It guides you through
the growth of language in a typically developing child and also
discusses a range of viewpoints, introducing the central
controversies in the field of language acquisition. Taking models
and analyses from generative phonology, morphology, syntax and
semantics, the author describes children's language acquisition
using examples from a wide variety of languages. She explores the
connections between language and other aspects of human cognition,
the role of environment in learning, and the role in language
development of mechanisms for speech production and speech
comprehension. Extensively illustrated with models and figures,
each chapter is also followed by a summary box, exercises and
questions for discussion. An appendix of research techniques and
suggestions for further reading is also included, to provide a
Chomskyan introduction to language acquisition for advanced
undergraduates and beginning graduate students in linguistics and
cognitive science.
