About the Book

Clearly written, well organized, and comprehensive, Language Development is the most widely used text in its field. In recognition of the tremendous language variations among children, the sixth edition of this highly readable text devotes significant space to individual developmental differences and cultural differences. Developed within a practical chronological framework, this new edition examines every aspect of syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics. Highlights of the Sixth Edition *Chapter 3, "Child Development," has been streamlined to include only the child development information most relevant to speech and language development. *Updates to Chapter 4, "Neurolinguistics," include the latest in brain imaging information to convey key links between anatomy, physiology, cognition, and language, and the roles these links play in the development of language abnormalities. *Chapter 5, "Cognitive and Perceptual Bases of Early Language," has been totally rewritten to reflect our rapidly changing knowledge of cognitive development and the newest research in brain imaging. *The new edition includes increased coverage of literacy development, cultural and linguistic difference and sensation, perception and cognition relative to language processing.
