520 "How do young children learn language? When does this
process start? What does language acquisition involve?
Children are exposed to language from birth, surrounded by
knowledgeable speakers who offer feedback and provide
extensive practice every day. Through conversation and
joint activities, children master the language being used
around them. This fully revised third edition of Eve V.
Clark's bestselling textbook offers comprehensive coverage
of language acquisition, from a baby's first sounds to a
child's increasing skill in negotiating, explaining and
entertaining with language. This book, drawing together
the most recent findings in the field, and illustrated
with examples from a wide range of experimental and
observational studies, including the author's own diary
observations, presents an essential and comprehensive
guide to first language acquisition. It will be
fascinating reading for students of linguistics,
developmental psychology, and cognitive science"
