Modern linguistic theory has been based on the promise of
explaining how language acquisition can occur so rapidly with such
subtlety, and with both surprising uniformity and diversity across
languages. This handbook provides a summary and assessment of how
far that promise has been fulfilled, exploring core concepts in
acquisition theory, including notions of the initial state,
parameters, triggering theory, the role of competition and
frequency, and many others, across a variety of syntactic topics
that have formed the central domains of investigation and debate.
These topics are treated from the unique perspective of central
actors in each domain who have helped shape the research agenda.
The authors have presented a summary of the data, the theories
under discussion, and their own best assessments of where each
domain stands. Providing as well the agenda for future work in the
field showing both particular needs and general directions that
should be pursued in the coming decades.
