Book Description
Since its inception in 1967, the Forum has provided an informal but critical setting for the presentation of new ideas and research on first language acquisition. The Forum itself is sponsored by the Linguistics Department at Stanford and is organised by graduate students. In this volume the contributors explore their findings in language acquisition in a variety of the world's languages. The papers presented here reflect the diversity of interests in the field and the range of languages being studied. This volume makes an empirical, as well as a theoretical, contribution to linguistic research.

Book Description
This book is the product of the twenty-sixth annual meeting of the Stanford Child Language Research Forum held in April, 1994. The conference included panel sessions organised by Terry K.-F. Au on 'Does input constrain word-learning principles?', Matthew Rispoli on 'Pronoun case errors: new approaches to an old phenomenon', and Janet F. Werker on 'Setting the stage for acquisition: experiential influences on infant speech perception'.
Language-Specific Factors in First Language Acquisition
Author: Anne-Katharina HarrPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 1614511748
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
A growing number of studies have begun to examine the influence of language-specific factors on language acquisition. During language acquisition, German children from six years on use structures that are similar to those of adults in their language group and also encode all semantic components from an early age. In striking contrast, French children up to ten years have difficulties producing some of the complex structures that are necessary for the simultaneous expression of several semantic components. Nonetheless, in addition to these striking cross-linguistic differences, the results of this study also clearly show similar developmental progressions in other respects, suggesting the impact of general developmental determinants.
Language in Development
Author: Gita MartohardjonoPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262542005
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Explorations of language development in different types of learner populations and across various languages. This volume examines language development in different types of learner populations and across various languages. The contributors analyze experimental studies of child and adult language acquisition, heritage language development, bilingualism, and language disorders. They consider theoretical and methodological issues; language development in children, discussing topics that range from gestures to errors in person and number agreement; and development and attrition of (morpho)syntactic constructions in second language learners, bilinguals, and Alzheimer's patients. The approach is "crosslinguistic" in three senses of the word: the contributors offer analyses of acquisition phenomena in different languages; they consider "crosslinguistic influence," or the potential effects of multiple languages on one another in the mind of the same speaker; and (in a novel use of the term, proposed by the editors) the chapters bring together theoretical and methodological approaches pertinent to the linguistics of language development in children, adults, and heritage speakers.
The Acquisition of Swedish Grammar
Author: Gunlög JosefssonPublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027295522
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This book provides a number of studies of different aspects of Swedish child language. Some of the thematic chapters present original, unpublished data: on the acquisition of tense, on the range and frequency of different word order patterns in early child Swedish, related to the input, meaning the language of adults talking to the children or in the presence of the children. The remaining chapters present overviews of previous research: on the acquisition of word formation rules, the noun phrase, and wh-questions. The introduction to this volume contains a concise overview of the basic features of Swedish grammar and a comprehensive overview of different Swedish child language corpora. The main body of research proceeds within a generative framework, but the text is designed to be accessible to researchers of different theoretical paradigms.
