Abstract

This volume brings together work by scholars with backgrounds in linguistics, psycholinguistics, developmental psychology, education, and language pathology. As such, the book adds psycholinguistic and crosslinguistic perspectives to the clinical and classroom approaches that have dominated the study of "later language development". Incorporating insights from prior language acquisition research, it goes beyond preschool age to consider both isolated utterances and extended discourse, conversational interactions and monologic text construction, and both written and spoken language use from early school-age across adolescence. Data from French, Hebrew, Spanish, and Swedish as well as English cover varied domains: morphology and lexicon, syntax and verb-argument structure, as well as peer interaction, spelling, processing of on-line writing, and reading poetry. The epilogue suggests explanations for the findings documented. Across the book, the authors show how cognitive and social maturation combines with increased literacy in the path taken by schoolchildren and adolescents towards the flexible deployment of a growing repertoire of lexical elements in varied morpho-syntactic constructions and different discourse contexts that constitutes the hallmark of maturely proficient language use.

Abstract

En los últimos años la adquisición del lenguaje ha estado en el centro del interés de los estudios de la lingüística mexicana. Los hallazgos sobre la adquisición y desarrollo del español empiezan a oírse con voz propia y fuerte. Precisamente, en este libro, el habla de niños entre dos y nueve años, hablantes de español mexicano, es el personaje principal. Su habla es atravesada por diferentes miradas teóricas, métodos y tipos de análisis para dar cuenta de algún nivel de estructuración: se va de lo fonético a lo pragmático pasando por lo sintáctico y lo semántico en búsqueda de respuestas a las preguntas nucleares que vertebran el libro ¿cuáles son los rasgos distintivos en diversos momentos de desarrollo?, ¿hay diferencias significativas en la producción?, ¿en qué nivel y de qué manera se dan? Los resultados apuntan hacia un habla infantil en movimiento que cambia, construyéndose dentro de la compleja tríada lingüística, cognoscitiva y social que le da vida.

Abstract

El habla infantil de los años escolares vertebra este libro. Describir algunos hilos que se entraman en el desarrollo lingüístico y seguir el itinerario del niño en esta compleja etapa es su objetivo principal. Este desarrollo es visto aquí como un proceso reflexivo y dinámico que se construye en la interacción continua y creativa entre el niño y el mundo que lo circunda. El interés se centra, especialmente, en los años en los que la escuela puede ser definitiva en la creación de un andamiaje sólido para la reestructuración que el niño ha de hacer con lo adquirido en las etapas tempranas. Ese fino trabajo -no siempre lineal y continuo-, de descubrir los sentidos y el poder de las palabras, el valor de las estructuras acomodadas en diversos discursos, la relevancia de la información dada y el efecto de la intención comunicativa en diversos ámbitos de la realidad social que se vive.

Abstract

This collection of essays by leading functional linguists presents the latest perspectives on language and discourse in educational settings. Language, Education and Discourse is divided into two sections. Part one covers early childhood and the growing development of a language system from the basic semiotic system of the infant. This is followed by an analysis of the beginnings of literacy in kindergarten, the introduction to writing in primary school and the ideological content of reading material. Part two furthers this analysis by looking at discourse in secondary and tertiary education.

Abstract

For nearly half a century, Professor M. A. K. Halliday has been enriching the discipline of linguistics with his keen insights into the social semiotic phenomenon we call language. This ten-volume series presents the seminal works of Professor Halliday. This fourth volume contains sixteen papers that look at the development of early childhood language. They are presented in three parts: infancy and protolanguage; the transition from child tongue to mother tongue; and early language and learning. The sociolinguistic account of the early development of the mother tongue presented by Professor Halliday is based on his intensive study of the language of one particular child, Nigel, for the period from nine- to eighteen months.

Abstract

This outstanding 2004 volume presents an overview of linguistic research into the acquisition of phonology. Bringing together well-known researchers in the field, it focuses on constraints in phonological acquisition (as opposed to rules), and offers concrete examples of the formalization of phonological development in terms of constraint ranking. The first two chapters situate the research in its broader context, with an introduction by the editors providing a brief general tutorial on Optimality Theory. Chapter two serves to highlight the history of constraints in studies of phonological development, which predates their current ascent to prominence in phonological theory. The remaining chapters address a number of partially overlapping themes: the study of child production data in terms of constraints, learnability issues, perceptual development and its relation to the development of production, and second-language acquisition.
