Book Synopsis Language Development In Exceptional Circumstances by : Dorothy Bishop
Download or read book Language Development In Exceptional Circumstances written by Dorothy Bishop and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since attempts were made to describe and explain normal language development, references to exceptional circumstances have been made. Variations in the conditions under which language is acquired can be regarded as natural experiments, which would not be feasible or ethical under normal circumstances. This can throw light on such questions as: *What language input is necessary for the child to learn language? *What is the relationship between cognition and language? *How independent are different components of language function? *Are there critical periods for language development? *Can we specify necessary and sufficient conditions for language impairment? This book covers a range of exceptional circumstances including: extreme deprivation, twinship, visual and auditory impairments, autism and focal brain damage? Written in a jargon-free style, and including a glossary of linguistic and medical terminology, the book assumes little specialist knowledge. This text is suitable for both students and practitioners in the fields of psycholinguistics, developmental and educational psychology, speech pathology, paediatrics and special education.

Book Synopsis Sound Patterns in Second Language Acquisition by : Allan James
Download or read book Sound Patterns in Second Language Acquisition written by Allan James and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language acquisition is a human endeavor par excellence. As children, all human beings learn to understand and speak at least one language: their mother tongue. It is a process that seems to take place without any obvious effort. Second language learning, particularly among adults, causes more difficulty. The purpose of this series is to compile a collection of high-quality monographs on language acquisition. The series serves the needs of everyone who wants to know more about the problem of language acquisition in general and/or about language acquisition in specific contexts.

Book Synopsis Syntactic Theory and First Language Acquisition by : (Vol.1)Barbara Lust
Download or read book Syntactic Theory and First Language Acquisition written by (Vol.1)Barbara Lust and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universal Grammar (UG) is a theory of both the fundamental principles for all possible languages and the language faculty in the "initial state" of the human organism. These two volumes approach the study of UG by joint, tightly linked studies of both linguistic theory and human competence for language acquisition. In particular, the volumes collect comparable studies across a number of different languages, carefully analyzed by a wide range of international scholars. The issues surrounding cross-linguistic variation in "Heads, Projections, and Learnability" (Volume 1) and in "Binding, Dependencies, and Learnability" (Volume 2) are arguably the most fundamental in UG. How can principles of grammar be learned by general learning theory? What is biologically programmed in the human species in order to guarantee their learnability? What is the true linguistic representation for these areas of language knowledge? What universals exist across languages? The two volumes summarize the most critical current proposals in each area, and offer both theoretical and empirical evidence bearing on them. Research on first language acquisition and formal learnability theory is placed at the center of debates relative to linguistic theory in each area. The convergence of research across several different disciplines -- linguistics, developmental psychology, and computer science -- represented in these volumes provides a paradigm example of cognitive science.

Book Synopsis Papers on Language Acquisition, Language Learning, and Language Teaching by : Henning Wode
Download or read book Papers on Language Acquisition, Language Learning, and Language Teaching written by Henning Wode and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a number of papers dealing with various aspects of the study of language acquisition and language learning. The intention is to overcome barriers imposed by restrictions in the accessibility of both publishing sources (journals, conference reports, working papers) as well as languages. Therefore, all papers are in English. Those originally written in German have been translated. The papers originated between 1970 and 1980. They derive from long-term investigations which began 1968 at the University of Freiburg and which were continued since 1969 at the University of Kiel. The essential theme is the nature of man's language learning system, i.e. the ability which allows human beings to learn, and to be taught, natural languages. This ability is unique to human beings; it is species specific; and very likely biologically endowed, i.e. innate. One of the major concerns throughout these papers is to show that learning a foreign language in the classroom via foreign language teaching is by no means totally different from mastering a language in natural situations. Foreign language teaching must be integrated into a comprehensive view of language learning which includes all types of language acquisition.
Book Synopsis Language Development by : Annette Gerstenberg
Download or read book Language Development written by Annette Gerstenberg and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Development: The lifespan perspective generates insights into the central issues of age-dependent language change, focusing especially on the middle and later stages of life. The contributors exploit contemporary and historical longitudinal data, adopting psycholinguistic, corpus linguistic and sociolinguistic approaches. Linguistic changes are discussed against the background of cognitive, somatic and social factors. Bringing the resulting contributions together, the volume aims to resume the discussion of contradictions between the models of change and constancy over an individual’s lifespan that have not been sufficiently resolved to date. The volume is intended to serve as an interdisciplinary reference resource for those conducting research on language development and the aging process and as a supplementary course book on language variability and change.

Book Synopsis German: Syntactic Problems – Problematic Syntax by : Werner Abraham
Download or read book German: Syntactic Problems – Problematic Syntax written by Werner Abraham and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume assembles eleven articles presenting a linguistic approach to the grammar of German, English and the diachronic forerunners of English. Common to all is a theoretical discussion against the background of Chomskyan minimalism (1993) and more recent developments of it (Kayne 1993, Chomsky 1995), all of which make language typology comparisons an interesting proposition. Some of the articles are critical of certain aspects of these theoretical approaches. For all their claims to descriptive universality, it transpires that they fail to address a number of features specific to German.
Book Synopsis Language Acquisition and the Form of the Grammar by : David Lebeaux
Download or read book Language Acquisition and the Form of the Grammar written by David Lebeaux and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2000-10-20 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Acquisition and the Form of the Grammar attempts to re-think the ideal organization of the grammar, given its need to be learned. The book proposes a fundamental connection between the form of the adult grammar and the sequence of grammars which the child adopts in first language acquisition. Challenging the conventional division between language acquisition and syntax, this influential work constructs a new understanding of phrase structure, bringing syntactic data to bear on phrase structure composition. Two new phrase structure composition operations are proposed, Adjoin-α, which adjoins adjuncts into the structure, and Project-α, which fuses open class and closed class structures. The author also introduces the novel concept of subgrammars, successively larger grammars that take the child from the initial state to the adult grammar. This work will be of interest to those in the areas of syntax, language acquisition, learnability, and cognitive science in general.
Book Synopsis The Acquisition of Inflection in Q’anjob’al Maya by : Pedro Mateo Pedro
Download or read book The Acquisition of Inflection in Q’anjob’al Maya written by Pedro Mateo Pedro and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies on the acquisition of verbal inflection have examined languages with a single verb suffix. This book offers a study on the acquisition of verb inflections in Q’anjob’al Maya. Q’anjob’al has separate inflections for aspect, subject and object agreement, and status suffixes. The subject and object inflections display a split ergative pattern. The subjects of intransitive verbs with aspect markers take absolutive markers, whereas the subjects of aspectless intransitive verbs take ergative markers. The acquisition of three types of clauses is explored in detail (imperatives, indicatives, and aspectless complements). The data come from longitudinal spontaneous speech of three monolingual Q’anjob’al children aged 1;8–3;5. This book contributes unique data to the debate on the acquisition of finite and non-finite verbs as well as adding to our understanding of the acquisition of split ergative patterns. The book is of interest to researchers and students working on linguistics and language acquisition.
