Language Development introduces you to generalized development along with individual patterns. It’s a very readable overview of all language development aspects including syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, and pragmatics. Each concept is explained clearly, then reinforced with outstanding learning aids such as discussion questions, chapter objectives, reflections, and Main Point boxed features.
The 11th Edition reflects the most up-to-date research and perspectives, adds coverage of bilingualism and other topics, discusses AI and the effects of media on language, and much more.
