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.
Today's economy is fueled by knowledge. Every leader knows this to
be true, yet few have systematic methods for converting
organizational knowledge into economic value. This book argues that
communities of practice--groups of individuals formed around common
interests and expertise--provide the ideal vehicle for driving
knowledge-management strategies and building lasting competitive
advantage. Written by leading experts in the field, Cultivating
Communities of Practice is the first book to outline models and
methods for systematically developing these essential groups.
Through compelling research and company examples, including
DaimlerChrysler, McKinsey & Company, Shell, and the World Bank,
authors Etienne Wenger, Richard McDermott, and William M. Snyder
show how world-class organizations have leveraged communities of
practice to drive strategy, generate new business opportunities,
solve problems, transfer best practices, develop employees'
professional skills, and recruit and retain top talent.
Underscoring the new central role communities of practice are
playing in today's knowledge economy, Cultivating Communities of
Practice is the definitive guide to fostering, designing, and
developing these powerful groups within and across organizations.
This is a systematic presentation of the parametric approach to
child language. Linguistic theory seeks to specify the range of
grammars permitted by the human language faculty and thereby to
specify the child's "hypothesis space" during language acquisition.
Theories of language variation have central implications for the
study of child language, and vice versa. Yet the acquisitional
predictions of such theories are seldom tested against attested
data. This book aims to redress this neglect. It considers the
nature of the information the child must acquire according to the
various linguistic theories. In doing so it sets out in detail the
practical aspects of acquisitional research, addresses the
challenges of working with children of different ages, and shows
how the resulting data can be used to test theories of grammatical
variation. Particular topics examined in depth include the
acquisition of syllable structure, empty categories, and
wh-movement. The data sets on which the book draws are freely
available to students and researchers via a website maintained by
the author. The book is written for scholars and students of child
language acquisition in linguistics, psychology, and cognitive
science. It will be a valuable reference for researchers in child
language acquisition in all fields.

It's the day after Christmas. Bill Snyder, a disillusioned high
school teacher who's pretty sure he's been receiving signs from a
higher power, feels compelled to wander up a mountain trail and
into a mysterious valley where he undergoes a bona fide
transcendental experience. Snyder's grizzled spirit guide leads him
on a strange and powerful journey of self-discovery with Ernest
Hemingway, the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, and a mystical
procession of curious characters at The Spirit Guide Bar.
