This collection of essays is a representative sample of the current
research and researchers in the fields of language and social
interactions and social context. The opening chapter, entitled
"Context in Language," is written by Susan Ervin-Tripp, whose
diverse and innovative research inspired the editors to dedicate
this book to her honor. Ervin-Tripp is known for her work in the
fields of linguistics, psychology, child development, sociology,
anthropology, rhetoric, and women's studies. She has played a
central role in the definition and establishment of
psycholinguistics, child language development, and
sociolinguistics, and has been an innovator in terms of approaches
and methods of study.
This book covers a wide range of research interests in the field,
from linguistically oriented approaches to social and ethnography
oriented approaches. The issue of the relationships between forms
and structures of language and social interactions is examined in
studies of both adult and child speech. It is a useful anthology
for graduate students studying language and social interaction, as
well as for researchers in this field.

This volume covers state-of-the-art research in the field of
crosslinguistic approaches to the psychology of language. The forty
chapters cover a wide range of topics that represent the many
research interests of a pioneer, Dan Isaac Slobin, who has been a
major intellectual and creative force in the field of child
language development, linguistics, and psycholinguistics for the
past four decades. Slobin has insisted on a rigorous,
crosslinguistic approach in his attempt to identify universal
developmental patterns in language learning, to explore the effects
of particular types of languages on psycholinguistic processes, to
determine the extent to which universals of language and language
behavior are determined by modality (vocal/auditory vs.
manual/visual) and, finally, to investigate the relation between
linguistic and cognitive processes. In this volume, researchers
take up the challenge of the differences between languages to
forward research in four major areas with which Slobin has been
concerned throughout his career: language learning in
crosslinguistic perspective (spoken and sign languages); the
integration of language specific factors in narrative skill;
theoretical issues in typology, language development and language
change; and the relationship between language and cognition. All
chapters are written by leading researchers currently working in
these fields, who are Slobin's colleagues, collaborators or former
students in linguistics, psychology, anthropology, and cognitive
science. Each section starts with an introductory chapter that
connects the themes of the chapters and reviews Slobin's
contribution in the context of past research trends and future
directions. The whole volume focuses squarely on the central
argument: universals of human language and of its development are
embodied and revealed in its diverse manifestations and
utilization. Crosslinguistic Approaches to the Study of Language is
a key resource for those interested in the range of differences
between languages and how this impacts on learning, cognition and
language change, and a tribute to Dan Slobin's momentous
contribution to the field.
