This state-of-the-art collection of current readings serves as a snapshot of the theory and research taking place in the field of language acquisition in the 1990's. The articles and chapters have been specifically chosen to reflect issues of current interest and adopt an interdisciplinary approach to language development, covering issues within linguistics, computational theory, biology, social cognition and comparative psychology. Geared towards the novice reader, this collection is a guide to the latest academic debates concerning language acquisition, and provides all the necessary background for further reading and research by students and scholars from a wide range of perspectives.
