These volumes present coherent sets of papers developed along two
of the thematic lines that underscored the program of the meeting
of the International Association for the Study of Child Language in
Istanbul in the summer of 1996. Thoroughly reviewed and updated to
reflect the state of child language research and
theory--particularly in the domains of discourse and
interaction--they convey not only the flavor of that meeting but
some of the most exciting trends in the field today.
Each contribution in Volume 10, "Developing Narrative and
Discourse Competence," focuses on the differential effects of
discourse genres, elicitation techniques, communicative contexts,
literacy and schooling, and the oft-cited variables of age,
language, and culture. Issues concerning the interrelations between
social, cognitive, and affective capacities and processes in
discourse are addressed. Each chapter raises theoretical questions
regarding how and when representations are constructed to support
new complexities. Presenting data from a cross-cultural and
cross-linguistic perspective, this volume highlights both the
particulars and the universals of the processes involved.
The chapters in Volume 11, "Interactional Contributions to
Language Development," address issues including scaffolding of
processing and learning in particular interactional sequences;
linkages among interpersonal functions or relations, cognitive
development, and semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic devices or
forms; and models of how interactions proceed, input is selected,
and learning advances across multiple rounds of interaction.
Each of these volumes will be a valuable addition to the libraries
of all who study the development of language.
