Abstract

The aim of the first edition of Language Acquisition was to provide as comprehensive a description and explanation as possible of the changes in the child's language as he or she grows older. In this second edition Paul Fletcher and Michael Garman have the same fundamental aim. Six years later the field has not changed dramatically, but there have been fruitful theoretical developments - the learnability hypothesis, in particular, has been influentially expounded - and empirical work seeking evidence of specific language capacities in children has made notable advances. Equally significant are shifts in emphasis: the growing interest in cross-linguistic studies, for example, or accounts of language development of reading and writing. All these changes are reflected in the second edition. About half the chapters are entirely new, having been specially commissioned for this edition. The remainder of the book consists of substantially revised versions of chapters from the first edition. Like its predecessor, this collection is the work of distinguished specialists from many countries and will provide an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike who have an interest in the field of child language acquisition.

Abstract

Bilingualism Across the Lifespan examines the dynamics of bilingual language processing over time from the perspectives of neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics. This multidisciplinary approach is fundamental to an understanding of how the bilingual's two (or more) language systems interact with each other and with other higher cognitive systems, neurological substrates, and social systems - a central theme of this volume. Contributors examine the nature of bilingualism during various phases of the lifecycle - childhood, adulthood, and old age - and in various health/pathology conditions. Topics range from code separation in the young bilingual child, across various types of language pathologies in adult bilinguals, to language choice problems in dementia. The volume thus offers a broad overview of current theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of bilingualism. It will interest and stimulate researchers and graduate students in the fields of linguistics, neuropsychology, and developmental psychology, as well as in foreign language teaching, speech pathology, educational psychology, and special education.

Abstract

This handbook reviews the current state of the art in the field of psycholinguistics. Part I deals with language comprehension at the sublexical, lexical, and sentence and discourse levels. It explores concepts of speech representation and the search for universal speech segmentation mechanisms against a background of linguistic diversity and compares first language with second language segmentation. It also discusses visual word recognition, lexico-semantics, the different forms of lexical ambiguity, sentence comprehension, text comprehension, and language in deaf populations. Part II focuses on language production, with chapters covering topics such as word production and related processes based on evidence from aphasia, the major debates surrounding grammatical encoding. Part III considers various aspects of interaction and communication, including the role of gesture in language processing, approaches to the study of perspective-taking, and the interrelationships between language comprehension, emotion, and sociality. Part IV is concerned with language development and evolution, focusing on topics ranging from the development of prosodic phonology, the neurobiology of artificial grammar learning, and developmental dyslexia. The book concludes with Part V, which looks at methodological advances in psycholinguistic research, such as the use of intracranial electrophysiology in the area of language processing.

Abstract

In recent decades, a growing number of children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a condition characterized by, among other features, social interaction deficits and language impairment. Yet the precise nature of the disorder's impact on language development is not well understood, in part because of the language variability among children across the autism spectrum. The contributors to this volume - experts in fields ranging from communication disorders to developmental and clinical psychology to linguistics - use innovative techniques to address two broad questions: Is the variability of language development and use in children with ASD a function of the language, such that some linguistic domains are more vulnerable to ASD than others? Or is the variability a function of the individual, such that some characteristics predispose those with ASD to have varying levels of difficulty with language development and use? Contributors investigate these questions across linguistic levels, from lexical semantics and single-clause syntax, to computationally complex phonology and the syntax-pragmatics interface. Authors address both spoken and written domains within the wider context of language acquisition. This timely and broadly accessible volume will be of interest to a broad range of specialists, including linguists, psychologists, sociologists, behavioral neurologists, and cognitive neuroscientists.

Abstract

Der sprachen- und bildungsstufenübergreifend angelegte Band stellt Heterogenität als Merkmal pädagogischer Settings in den Fokus und geht der zentralen Frage nach, wie der mehrsprachigen Lebenswirklichkeit in einem an der Bildungssprache Deutsch orientierten System entsprochen werden kann. Die Beiträge spiegeln die vielfältigen Ausgangslagen, Bedarfe und Perspektiven wider, die den deutschsprachigen Raum prägen. Dabei werden Ausbaupotenziale von Sprachförderung ebenso untersucht wie Faktoren und Facetten einer entwicklungsadäquaten Förderung von Deutsch als Bildungssprache, Gelingensbedingungen für Sprachaneignung im Kontext herkunftsbedingter Mehrsprachigkeit und integrative Ansätze zum gesteuerten (Mehr-)Sprachenerwerb. Durch die Bündelung dieser inhaltlich und methodisch breiten Themenfelder zu den vier Schwerpunkten Bildungssprache Deutsch, herkunftsbedingte Mehrsprachigkeit, Fremdsprachenerwerb und Sprachförderkompetenzen können Befunde und Handlungsempfehlungen für Bereiche zusammengeführt werden, die für angewandte Linguist/-innen, Sprachlehrforscher/-innen, Sprachendidaktiker/-innen, Lehrkräftebildner/-innen und Pädagog/-innen ebenso relevant sind wie für Entscheidungsträger/-innen in mit Sprache befassten Institutionen. This volume spans various languages and education levels, focusing on heterogeneity as an immanent characteristic of pedagogical settings. Its examines the potential of language development, the factors and facets of the developmentally appropriate promotion of German as a language of education, the conditions for successful language acquisition in the context of multilingualism, and integrative approaches toward controlled language acquisition.
