The last 25 years have witnessed an explosion of research at the
intersection of typical language development and child language
disorders. A pioneer in bringing these fields of study together is
Robin S. Chapman, Emerita, University of Wisconsin. This
contributed volume honors her with chapters written by former
students and colleagues, who track in their own research the theme
of psycholinguistic contributions to our understanding of the
nature and remediation of child language disorders.
In this volume, such renowned researchers in child language
development as Dorothy Bishop, Judith Johnston, Ray Kent, among
others, discuss their research in certain populations in the
context of the significance of, limits of, and alternatives to
Robin Chapman's developmental interactionist perspective. Studies
of disordered language in Down's Syndrome and Specific Language
Impairment, in particular, attribute much progress in our
understanding of the pragmatic and comprehension skills inthese
populations to the developmental perspective.
"Language Disorders From a Developmental Perspective" opens with a
reprint of Robin Chapman's seminal 2001 article from "The Journal
of Child Psychiatry and Psychology," It concludes with a new
chapter from Dr. Chapman summarizing what we know and what we don't
know about language disorders within the developmental framework,
and pointing to future areas of research and intervention.
Clinicians as well as scholars will benefit from this book, as will
students in programs of developmental psycholinguistics, child
language disorders, and learning disabilities.
