Infos

This volume presents original up-to-date research in the field of language acquisition. The contributions reflect experimental work guided by linguistic theory, covering different populations of learners, a wide range of linguistic phenomena, a variety of empirical methods, and a rich set of typologically different languages. The studies investigate first and second language acquisition, as well as acquisition in children with developmental language disorder or hearing impairment. The different chapters address various phenomena in the areas of morpho-syntax, phonology, and semantics. This edited collection of papers is a valuable reference for researchers who are interested in language acquisition research and its multifaceted nature. The book highlights the fruitful connection between empirical research and linguistic theory, making it interesting to both psycholinguists and theoretical linguists. The experimental studies collected in this book contribute to our understanding of how different types of learners acquire and process language and can offer novel insights to theoretical linguistics as well.
