Adults tend to take language for granted - until they have to learn
a new one. Then they realize how difficult it is to get the
pronunciation right, to acquire the meaning of thousands of new
words, and to learn how those words are put together to form
sentences. Children, however, have mastered language before they
can tie their shoes. In this engaging and accessible book, William
O'Grady explains how this happens, discussing how children learn to
produce and distinguish among sounds, their acquisition of words
and meanings, and their mastery of the rules for building
sentences. How Children Learn Language provides readers with a
highly readable overview not only of the language acquisition
process itself, but also of the ingenious experiments and
techniques that researchers use to investigate his mysterious
phenomenon. It will be of great interest to anyone - parent or
student - wishing to find out how children acquire language.
