Although there has been much empirical study within what has been
referred to as "functional approaches to child language," there has
yet to be a major attempt to compare and contrast such proposals.
In addition, much of the work carried out within child language
from a functionalist perspective has not been specific with regard
to the nature of the approach adopted. In attempting to fill the
gap, the author of this book begins with a comparison of various
functionalist approaches. By concentrating on one domain --
agentivity and control -- Budwig develops a set of research
questions based on an examination of findings stemming from
linguistics, psycholinguistics, and developmental psychology, and
also provides an in-depth discussion of related methodological
issues. In the second part of the book, she traces the development
of linguistic means to refer to oneself within a
developmental-functionalist perspective. Individual case studies as
well as group analyses of six children in the early phases of
acquiring English grammar are provided. In the last part, Budwig
examines the relationship between forms and functions in
development with special attention to potential generalizations
about the organization and reorganization of the children's
linguistic systems.
