Book Description
Exploring the creativity of mind through children's language: how the tiniest utterances can illustrate the simple but abstract principles behind modern grammar—and reveal the innate structures of the mind. Every sentence we hear is instantly analyzed by an inner grammar; just as a prism refracts a beam of light, grammar divides a stream of sound, linking diverse strings of information to different domains of mind—memory, vision, emotions, intentions. In The Prism of Grammar, Tom Roeper brings the abstract principles behind modern grammar to life by exploring the astonishing intricacies of child language. Adult expressions provide endless puzzles for the child to solve. The individual child's solutions ("Don't uncomfortable the cat" is one example) may amuse adults but they also reveal the complexity of language and the challenges of mastering it. The tiniest utterances, says Roeper, reflect the whole mind and engage the child's free will and sense of dignity. He offers numerous and novel "explorations"—many at the cutting edge of current work—that anyone can try, even in conversation around the dinner table. They elicit how the child confronts "recursion"—the heartbeat of grammar—through endless possessives ("John's mother's friend's car"), mysterious plurals, contradictory adjectives, the marvels of ellipsis, and the deep obscurity of reference ("there it is, right here"). They are not tests of skill; they are tools for discovery and delight, not diagnosis. Each chapter on acquisition begins with a commonsense look at how structures work—moving from the simple to the complex—and then turns to the literary and human dimensions of grammar. One important human dimension is the role of dialect in society and in the lives of children. Roeper devotes three chapters to the structure of African-American English and the challenge of responding to linguistic prejudice. Written in a lively style, accessible and gently provocative, The Prism of Grammar is for parents and teachers as well as students—for everyone who wants to understand how children gain and use language—and anyone interested in the social, philosophical, and ethical implications of how we see the growing mind emerge.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Child's Grammar: First Lessons in Language This book is what its title implies, a Child's Grammar. It was written for the children, not for grammarians and critical scholars of the language. Its chief aim is not to propose new principles, but to simplify and make easy such as are already known, and adapt them to the capacities of young pupils. The effort has also been made by means of pictures and various novel devices to awaken and sustain the interest of the pupil and relieve the study of much of its tediousness. The author has endeavored to put himself on the same plane with the children, to think as they think and talk as they talk, avoiding at the same time that silly grandpapa style so often met with in so-called juvenile text-books. Throughout the whole work the principle is recognized that grammar is not a code of dead rules, petrified in the writings of past or present authors, but rather the expression of the living genius of a language, wearing its livery and subserving its needs. Believing that the first grammatical essays of the child should be upon the words of his own little vocabulary, and not upon the language of great poets and other writers, the author has aimed to teach the young pupil first to use correctly his own familiar words in conveying his thoughts, as well as to enable him subsequently to understand language which he may read or hear, and appropriate its forms to his own use in expressing the ideas of his maturer mind.
