This book sets a high standard for rigor and scientific approach to the study of bilingualism and provides new insights regarding the critical issues of theory and practice, including the interdependence of linguistic knowledge in bilinguals, the role of socioeconomic status, the effect of different language usage patterns in the home, and the role of schooling by single-language immersion as opposed to systematic training in both home and target languages. The rich landscape of outcomes reported in the volume will provide a frame for interpretation and understanding of effects of bilingualism for years to come.
Recent studies of vocal development in infants have shed new light
on old questions of how the speech capacity is founded and how it
may have evolved in the human species. Vocalizations in the very
first months of life appear to provide previously unrecognized
clues to the earliest steps in the process by which language came
to exist and the processes by which communicative disorders arise.

Because dual language learners are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. student population-and the majority speak Spanish as a first language-the new generation of SLPs must have comprehensive knowledge of how to work effectively with bilingual speakers. That's what they'll get in the second edition of this book, an ideal graduate-level text and an essential resource for every practicing SLP. Fully updated with five new chapters on hot topics (see below), an expanded age range that includes infants and toddlers, and cutting-edge research findings, this book arms SLPs with the most current information on language development and disorders of Spanish-English bilingual children. More than 25 leading researchers give SLPs in-depth, high-level coverage of a broad range of critical topics, including -social-cultural factors affecting language acquisition -diagnosis of language disorders -effective professional development -infant/toddler language development -first language loss -bilingual lexical development -semantic development -verbal morphology and vocabulary -morphosyntactic development -code-switching -grammatical impairments -narrative development and disorders -phonological development and disorders -fluency -SLPs will have the sophisticated knowledge they need to accurately distinguish language disorders from typical bilingual development, and they'll get a complete language intervention framework they can use as a guide for their own practice. Whether used as a graduate text or a trusted reference, this book will help SLPs fully understand the complexity of language development in bilingual children, diagnose disorders accurately, and conduct effective assessment and intervention for the growing number of Spanish-English bilingual speakers.
