Overview

The contributors to this volume explore their findings on language acquisition in a variety of the world's languages, reflecting the diversity of interests in the field and the range of languages being studied. This volume makes an empirical, as well as a theoretical, contribution to linguistic research. Since its inception in 1967, the Forum has provided an informal but critical setting for the presentation of new ideas and research on first language acquisition, drawing researchers from around the globe. The Forum itself is sponsored by the Linguistics Department at Stanford University, and is organized by graduate students.

This book...is an invaluable resource for researchers and clinicians interested in child language. This is a book...that should be read in its entirety, regardless of your own personal area of interest. The reader will come away well-informed about some of the current issues in child language research, and healthy respect for how much is still not known about early language acquisition. It would be an important addition to reading lists in advanced child language courses and to the libraries of early intervention teams. Judith G. Foy, ASHA
