{"product_id":"crosslinguistic-study-of-language-acquisition-2","title":"Crosslinguistic Study of Language Acquisition","description":"\u003cp\u003eContinuing 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 contribute to issues of general theoretical concern in developmental psycholinguistics and linguistic theory. Each chapter, therefore, provides the following: \u003cbr\u003e * \u003ci\u003eGrammatical Sketch of Language.\u003c\/i\u003e Brief grammatical sketch of the language or language group, presenting those linguistic facts which are relevant to the developmental analysis. \u003cbr\u003e * \u003ci\u003eSources of Evidence.\u003c\/i\u003e Summary of basic sources of evidence, characterizing methods of gathering data, and listing key references. \u003cbr\u003e * \u003ci\u003eOverall Course of Development.\u003c\/i\u003e Brief summary of the overall course of development in the language or language group, giving an idea of the general problems posed to the child in acquiring a language of this type, summarizing typical errors, domains of relatively error-free acquisition, and the timing of acquisition--areas of the grammar that show relatively precocious or delayed development in crosslinguistic perspective. \u003cbr\u003e * \u003ci\u003eData.\u003c\/i\u003e Specific developmental aspects of the language examined in depth, depending on each individual language and available acquisition data. \u003cbr\u003e * \u003ci\u003eConclusions.\u003c\/i\u003e An interpretive summary of theoretical points raised above, attending to general principles of language development and linguistic organization suggested by the study of a language of this type, plus comparisons with development of other languages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242170208600,"sku":"9780805801064","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780805801064_c61b1d0b-4cb9-4b85-881a-c365df7c2d68.jpg?v=1769040014","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/crosslinguistic-study-of-language-acquisition-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
