This book presents a current, interdisciplinary perspective on
language requisites from both a biological/comparative perspective
and from a developmental/learning perspective. Perspectives
regarding language and language acquisition are advanced by
scientists of various backgrounds -- speech, hearing, developmental
psychology, comparative psychology, and language intervention. This
unique volume searches for a rational interface between findings
and perspectives generated by language studies with humans and with
chimpanzees. Intended to render a reconsideration as to the essence
of language and the requisites to its acquisition, it also provides
readers with perspectives defined by various revisionists who hold
that language might be other than the consequence of a mutation
unique to humans and might, fundamentally, not be limited to
speech.
This volume covers the 22nd Annual Minnesota Symposia on Child
Psychology. The theme of the conference was the use of a systematic
approach to the study of development. An analysis of systems
theory, its applications to the study of development, its benefits,
and its drawbacks are considered. The contributors, among the
leaders in this field, discuss the application of systems concepts
to the analysis of core issues in areas as diverse as motor and
social development.
