Taking an accessible and cross-linguistic approach, Understanding Child Language Acquisition introduces readers to the most important research on child language acquisition over the last fifty years, as well as to some of the most influential theories in the field. Rather than just describing what children can do at different ages Rowland explains why these research findings are important and what they tell us about how children acquire language. Key features include: Cross-linguistic analysis of how language acquisition differs between languages A chapter on how multilingual children acquire several languages at once Exercises to test comprehension Chapters organised around key questions that summarise the critical issues posed by researchers in the field, with summaries at the end Further reading suggestions to broaden understanding of the subject With its particular focus on outlining key similarities and differences across languages and what this cross-linguistic variation means for our ideas about language acquisition, Understanding Child Language Acquisition forms a comprehensive introduction to the subject for students of linguistics, psychology and speech and language therapy. Students and instructors will benefit from the comprehensive companion website that includes a students’ section featuring interactive comprehension exercises, extension activities, chapter recaps and answers to the exercises within the book. Material for instructors includes sample essay questions, answers to the extension activities for students and a Powerpoint including all the figures from the book. www.routledge.com/cw/rowland

Processes of language acquisition and children's uses of language have long been topics of intense interest to laymen and professionals alike. In the early 1960s, developmental psycholinguistics took shape as a field of systematic inquiry with primary focus on the acquisition of language as a formal grammatical system. The field of child inquiry has broadened steadily in the past 25 years. Current investigations are concerned with relations of language to conceptual development and the functions of language as well as with the development of language as a formal system. This comprehensive anthology reflects the excitement of theoretical debate and makes clear the kinds of empirical questions that structure the field today. Students are introduced to the field of child language through primary source material drawn from the recent work of leading researchers and theoreticians. The thirty papers collected here cover a group of significant topics including precursors of language, the transition to language, first words, syntax and semantics in early language, social and private speech, child conversation, early narrative, metaphor, and metalinguistic processes. Several different kinds of methodologies for gathering and analyzing data on child language are exemplified by the studies in this collection. For each of the five sections of the book, a brief introduction highlights critical issues in the area and delineates interrelations among selections. Intended for use as a main or supplementary text in upper level courses, this comprehensive, carefully edited anthology can also serve as an introduction to the field for professionals interested in research and theory in child language.

From cooing in the crib to first words and sentences, to stories and the final big leap into reading and writing, Growing a Reader from Birth reviews the latest research revealing just how much infants, toddlers, and preschoolers know and can express from the early months on. In chapters that cover each year of a child's language growth, seasoned researcher Diane McGuinness links this new knowledge of how babies first perceive and produce language to her own innovative program for children's later mastery of reading. McGuinness charts how a child initially makes sense of the world of sounds and symbols and then progresses from recognizing and decoding words to developing a vocabulary and using it to become a good listener, an expert reader, and an eloquent speaker. McGuinness also underscores the important role of a child's parents in healthy language development, giving tips and pointers on how parents can best facilitate a child's learning. The past decade has been prolific in the knowledge gained about language development and the parents' pivotal role. It is incontrovertibly clear that without parents' verbal outpourings, language development cannot occur normally and may even shut down altogether. Full of fascinating insights into infant behavior, Growing a Reader from Birth not only illuminates the stages of language learning in children but also wisely counsels parents on how to maximize interactions with their children and be a positive force in nurturing their child's language from day one.

The more teachers understand about how children learn to talk, the more they can help children become avid, joyful readers and writers. Drawing on a large body of research and her own volunteer work at a family shelter, Lindfors concisely identifies several important commonalities across oral and written language. Taking the compelling perspective that it’s all language, she traces children’s emergent literacy from infancy through the early school years. The book incorporates abundant examples from a diverse range of children engaged in authentic literacy experiences. Lindfors describes a set of principles that teachers can build on as they help young students learn to read and write using the oral language processes they already know. “A valuable resource for teacher educators.” —Gail Perry, New Books Editor, Young Children “Children’s Language offers a return to sanity in children’s early literacy development—an appeal for ‘joy in a literate community’ with logic and evidence to support it.” —Peter Johnston, the University at Albany–SUNY “Once again, with her unique insights, Judith Lindfors describes and updates children’s oral and written language development to inform those of us who work with young children.” —Yetta M. Goodman, Regents Professor Emerita, University of Arizona, College of Education “Children’s Language gives us a front row seat at a spectacular show. This book should appeal to anyone who has ever been intrigued by young children’s language learning.” —Carole Edelsky, Arizona State University
