Overview"Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the ""Routledge English Language Introductions"" series offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume. The innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around four sections - introductions, development, exploration and extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge gained. ""Child Language"": * is a comprehensive introduction to child language, introducing students to the key theories of language acquisition and teaching them skills for analysing children's language * covers the core areas of language acquisition: phonological, semantic, syntactic, morphological and discourse development, the bilingual child and language development in exceptional circumstances * draws on a range of real texts and data * provides classic readings by the key names in the discipline: J. Becker, Roger Brown, R. Ely, Jean Berko-Gleason, J.N. Jorgenson, D. Messer, S. Pinker and N. Smith."

Glossarial IndexReviews'Engaging as it is, Child Language opens the door of the fascinating area of language acquisition to students who might think that child language is mere imitation and as such, not worth investigating. Most importantly, the reader is not a passive recipient of knowledge in this book but is invited to actively observe the language acquisition process and experience real data.' - Linguist List Author InformationJean Stilwell Peccei is a Visiting Lecturer in the English Language & Linguistics programme at Roehampton University.
