Understanding Child Language Acquisition

by David Singleton, Lisa Ryan

How children acquire their first language is of great interest to linguists because it may give insight into the nature of language. Understanding Child Language Acquisition offers an accessible introduction to first language acquisition for undergraduates and takes a cross-linguistic,
typological slant that is particularly relevant and desirable in language acquisition studies.
