"""Schaeffer correctly describes the book as one that keeps alive the interaction and exchange of information between models of linguistic theory and cross-linguistic/cross-learner data studies. I found the book to do more than this....provides a good demonstration of the progress being made in the study of the SLI and of other childhood language disorders."" —International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders ""One of the best features of this text is the way that the authors refer to the other chapters within the book....For those who like to keep abreast of developments in the research in a broader sense this book would prove a very interesting read."" —Child Language Teaching and Therapy ""It [Language Competence Across Populations] brings together information on language impairments in a way that will broaden the horizons of many who read it. Ideas introduced are supported by a wealth of references that will assist this process....It is both thought-provoking and informative for everyone who works in the field...For those who like to keep abreast of developments in the research in a broader sense this book would prove a very interesting read."" —Child Language Teaching and Therapy ""The insights gained into the nature of SLI and other developmental language disorders are carefully scrutinized, and most of the authors call for a much-needed and bold revision of current definition standards for a more comprehensive understanding of what SLI is, and of what its causes may be.The theoretical and methodological implications of these studies will be of interest to a wide audience ranging from linguists and psychologists working in the field of language impairments to clinicians working with patients."" —Cambridge Press Journal"
