Continuing the tradition of this series, which has become a standard reference work in language acquisition, Volume 4 contains chapters on three additional languages/language groups - Finnish, Greek and Korean. The chapters are selective, critical reviews rather than exhaustive summaries of the course of development of each language. Authors approach the language in question as a case study in a potential crosslinguistic typology of acquisitional problems, considering those data which continue to issues of general theoretical concern in developmental psycholinguistics and linguistic theory.

In this fifth volume, the contributors attempt to expand the contexts in which child language has been examined crosslinguistically. The chapters open themes that have been touched on, anticipated and promised in earlier volumes in the series. The study of child language has been situated in the disciplines of psychology and linguistics, and has been most responsive to dominant issues in those fields such as nativism and learning, comprehension and production, errors, input and universals of morphology and syntax. The context has primarily been that of the individual child, interacting with a...

Beyond Nature-Nurture: Essays in Honor of Elizabeth Bates is a very special tribute to the University of California at San Diego psycholinguist, developmental psychologist, and cognitive scientist Elizabeth Ann Bates, who died on December 14, 2003 from pancreatic cancer.

This volume represents the culmination of an extensive research project that studied the development of linguistic form/function relations in narrative discourse.

It is the first book to address the issue of how the structural properties and rhetorical preferences of different native languages--English, German, Spanish, Hebrew, and Turkish--impinge on narrative abilities across different phases of development. ...
