Index.Reviews"This thoroughly revised and updated edition of The Language of Children, first published in 1984, is a reader friendly, well written introductory text on language acquisition. What makes this work different from most texts about language acquisition is its interdisciplinary nature. I consider The Language of Children a valuable book, which makes an accessible, interesting text for students who are non-native speakers of English."
