Research on language and communication development and intervention
in persons with mental retardation has been conducted at a fast and
furious pace during the last two decades. Past attempts to
summarize this research have been rather restricted, focusing on a
single, narrowly defined substantive domain such as lexical
development, or of a single etiology such as Down Syndrome. This
volume, in contrast, presents a critical, integrative review of
research and theory on language development and processing across
all domains and a variety of etiologies. In addition, many previous
attempts to review portions of this research have failed to
consider the research within the context of current theory and data
from developmental psycholinguistics and linguistics. A major
contribution of this book is the emphasis on relevant work outside
of mental retardation for understanding and treating the language
and communication problems of persons with mental retardation.
Finally, this book is comprehensive and up-to-date across all the
areas of language covered including appropriate introductory
material in linguistics and psychology -- discussions of the
innateness, cognition-first and motherese views of normal language
acquisition. In addition, the authors' extensive bibliography is
valuable in and of itself to any serious student or professional in
the area.
