students studying child language acquisition for the first time.
Starting from the first sounds a child produces, this book covers
all the stages a child goes through in acquiring a language. This
title: Illustrates developmental stages from the recognition of
sounds and words to the ability to hold a conversation, also
covering bilingual upbringing and language disorders; Features
real-life examples of all the phenomena discussed, from languages
such as French, Spanish and Portuguese as well as English;
Incorporates guidance on sources for further reading and
exploration by chapter; Is supported by a companion website that
includes exercises with links to real-world data in the CHILDES
archive. Written by an experienced author and teacher, Language in

How do young children learn language? When does this process start?
What does language acquisition involve? Children are exposed to
language from birth, surrounded by knowledgeable speakers who offer
feedback and provide extensive practice every day. Through
conversation and joint activities, children master the language
being used around them. This fully revised third edition of Eve V.
Clark's bestselling textbook offers comprehensive coverage of
language acquisition, from a baby's first sounds to a child's
increasing skill in negotiating, explaining and entertaining with
language. This book, drawing together the most recent findings in
the field, and illustrated with examples from a wide range of
experimental and observational studies, including the author's own
diary observations, presents an essential and comprehensive guide
to first language acquisition. It will be fascinating reading for
students of linguistics, developmental psychology and cognitive
science.

Eve Clark argues for the centrality of the lexicon in language and language acquisition. She looks at the hypotheses children draw on about possible word meanings, and how they map their meanings onto forms. Starting with children's emerging knowledge of conventional words and meanings, she takes up their growing knowledge of word structure as reflected in their formation of new words. The Lexicon in Acquisition synthesizes Professor Clark's widely respected work in the field, and will interest linguists, psychologists, and cognitive scientists.
"The Acquisition of Constructions" is the culmination of new
research into constructions of grammar in languages as diverse as
Cantonese, English, French, German, Mandarin, Thai, and Tzeltal.
The contributors, all noted scholars in the field of construction
grammar, investigate the acquisition of constructions - that is,
the consistent patterns for combining words and phrases within a
language - in children, from the first and most rudimentary gesture
combinations to the production of larger syntactic constructions
and complex clauses. Timely and comprehensive, it will be a superb
resource for scholars of syntax.
Since its inception in 1967, the Child Language Research Forum has
provided an informal but critical setting for the presentation of
new ideas and research on first language acquisition. The Forum
itself is sponsored by the Linguistics Department at Stanford and
is organized by graduate students. In this volume the contributors
explore their findings in language acquisition in a variety of the
world's languages. The papers presented here reflect the diversity
of interests in the field and the range of languages being studied.
This volume makes an empirical, as well as a theoretical,
contribution to linguistic research.

First language acquisition is an integral component of linguistics
research. If one can understand a child's ability to learn a
language, one can better understand the social and phonological
implications of the complexities of language.
This volume displays researchers' findings on first language
acquisition in a variety of the world's languages, reflecting the
diversity of interests in the field and the range of languages
being studied. Contributors discuss a range of topics in first
language acquisition, including children's use of tense, their
ability to formulate coherent clarification requests, and their
knowledge of word order. Other topics examined include the
difficulties experienced by a bilingual child, the difference
between the rhythmic characteristics of children compared to
adults, and children's ability to learn inflectional agreement from
parental speech. The studies included in this volume were presented
at the 30th Child Language Research Forum held at Stanford
University in 1999.
