  • Child Languageby Matthew Saxton

    Sage Publications Ltd. 2010; US$ 56.00

    Presented with the latest thinking and research on how children acquire their first language, the reader is taken from a standing start to the point where they can engage with key debates and current research in the field of child language.

The reader is encouraged to adopt a critical stance throughout and weigh up the evidence for... more...
