Language Development: An Introduction - Tapa blanda

Clearly written, well-organized, and comprehensive, Language Development is the most widely used text in its area. In recognition of the tremendous variation across children and language, the fifth edition of this highly readable text devotes much more space to individual developmental differences and cultural differences. Discussion of other cultures has been included in the text wherever possible. In addition, the sections on bidialectalism and bilingualism have been expanded to reflect more accurately the realities of everyday life in the United States. Developed within a practical chronological framework, every aspect of syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics is examined. As in previous editions, Owens presents even the most complex, technical concepts at an appropriate level for beginning students.
