Media Reviews
'Engaging as it is, Child Language opens the door of the fascinating area of language acquisition to students who might think that child language is mere imitation and as such, not worth investigating. Most importantly, the reader is not a passive recipient of knowledge in this book but is invited to actively observe the language acquisition process and experience real data.' - Linguist List
