This classic text now in its tenth edition and now available from
Plural Publishing, The Development of Language continues its focus
on language acquisition in an unbiased, authoritative, and
comprehensive way. Written by leading experts known for their
research in the areas they discuss, this book has a
multidisciplinary approach, and demonstrates the relevance of
typical language development to speech-language pathologists,
educators, clinicians, and those in other professions. Topics
include the roots of language learning in infancy, phonology,
syntax/grammar, word learning, bilingualism, pragmatics, literacy,
atypical language development, and more. This book provides the
reader with an authoritative text that includes important and
useful concepts and research findings. Emphasis is placed on
language development in children who are learning languages other
than, or in addition to, English, as well as children with risk
factors for language delay or disorder. The text leads the reader
through every stage of development-the early months before children
begin to speak, the preschool and school years, and adolescence as
children achieve mastery of adult-like language skills. Key
