This book provides a very readable introduction for students of
psychology, language, and education to how children acquire and use
language. Focusing on research evidence and everyday examples, it
covers a broad range of topics and assumes no prior knowledge of
developmental psychology or linguistics.
The emphasis of "The Language of Children" is on explaining
psychological (cognitive, biological and social) variables in
language. The development of human language use is first related to
the development of signaling in other species and to the early
interaction between the infant and his or her mother (or other
caregiver). It goes on to relate the child's development of
language to broader cognitive development, and considers the
influence of schooling and social experience.
