Reviews

"""In his first chapter, Slobin says that one of the goals in these volumes on crosslinguistic studies of acquisition has been to show how much fruit there is beyond the core areas examined within a UG framework. Actually, what these volumes, and this volume in particular, have provided is a veritable feast."" —First Language. FOR VOLUMES 4 AND 5: ""The two volumes under review constitute, in short, a very rich source of information, ideas, questions and challenges to our standard assumptions, many of which are unreflectingly grounded in patterns familiar from English and the acquisition of English. The books deserve to be widely consulted and read; they should provide a long-lasting stimulus for our field."" —Child Language"
