The Language of Children : Evolution and Development of Secondary Consciousness and Language
Overview
This book provides a readable introduction to how children acquire and use language. Focusing on research evidence and everyday examples, it covers a broad range of topics and assumes no prior knowledge of developmental psychology or linguistics. The Language of Children emphasizes the explanation of psychological (cognitive, biological, and social) variables in Language. The development of human language use is first related to the development of signaling in other species and to the early interaction between the infant and his or her mother (or other caregiver). It then relates the child's development of language to broader cognitive development, and considers the influence of schooling and social experience.
