In this handbook, renowned scholars from a range of backgrounds
provide a state of the art review of key developmental findings in
language acquisition. The book places language acquisition
phenomena in a richly linguistic and comparative context,
highlighting the link between linguistic theory, language
development, and theories of learning. The book is divided into six
parts. Parts I and II examine the acquisition of phonology and
morphology respectively, with chapters covering topics such as
phonotactics and syllable structure, prosodic phenomena, compound
word formation, and processing continuous speech. Part III moves on
to the acquisition of syntax, including argument structure,
questions, mood alternations, and possessives. In Part IV, chapters
consider semantic aspects of language acquisition, including the
expression of genericity, quantification, and scalar implicature.
Finally, Parts V and VI look at theories of learning and aspects of
atypical language development respectively.
