The past decade has brought important new advances in the fields of
genetics, behavioral genetics, linguistics, language acquisition,
studies of language impairment, and brain imaging. Although these
advances are each highly relevant to the determination of what a
child is innately prepared to bring to language acquisition, the
contributing fields of endeavor have traditionally been relatively
self-contained, with little cross communication. This volume was
developed with the belief that there is considerable value to be
gained in the creation of a shared platform for a dialogue across
the disciplines. Leading experts in genetics, linguistics, language
acquisition, language impairment, and brain imaging are brought
together for the purpose of exploring the current evidence,
theoretical issues, and research challenges in a way that bridges
disciplinary boundaries and points toward future developments in
the search for the genetic and environmental bases of language
acquisition and impairments. This collection provides discussions
and summaries of: *breakthrough findings of the genetic
underpinnings of dyslexia; *theoretical and empirical developments
in the specification of a phenotype of language acquisition and
impairment; *evidence of familiarity and twin concordances of
specific language impairment; and *new evidence from brain imaging.
It concludes with a critical response from an advocate of rational
empiricism.
