It covers every aspect of language acquisition and development from a lifespan perspective beginning with the earliest attempts to communicate and ending with language and communication concerns of the aged.The text thoroughly explores syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics. It examines atypical development, presents strong coverage of individual differences, how and why they occur, and provides contemporary references and the most recent research findings.The text's editor is former production of the International Association for the Study of Child Language and associate editor of the journal, Language.
