Description

This introduction to language development offers a cohesive, easy-to-understand overview of all aspects of the subject, from syntax, morphology and semantics, to phonology and pragmatics. Each idea and concept is clearly explained and then reinforced with pedagogical aids such as discussion questions, chapter objectives, reflections and main-point boxed features. It looks at how children learn to communicate in general and in English specifically, while emphasising individual patterns of communication development.
