It is a gift when an academic can take a difficult subject and make
it not just accessible but actually enjoyable for the average
reader. Anyone who is around young children will find useful
information on how humans create speech and language.--The
Bloomsbury Review Children learn to make sense of the babble around
them and become coherent speakers and incipient readers in just
five or six years. In this remarkable book, linguist Naomi Baron
takes us on a journey through language, showing the variety of ways
in which children crack the language code and master the means of
expression, and how parents play a vital role in the process. Every
parent will see something of his or her child in the numerous and
vivid examples; those whose kids don't fit preconceived norms will
find reassurance and guidance in these pages. Spiced with
enchanting examples of children putting their first words together,
struggling to understand meaning, and coming to use language as a
creative tool, Growing Up with Language reminds us that underneath
all their efforts is the drive to make sense of the world.
