Synopsis
For years it was thought that children learn to speak their first language from their parents, building up from words to phrases to full sentences. But linguistics have since widely disagreed, and Ray Cattell's new volume tells us why. Children's Language examines the work of the century's most influential linguistic theorists -- Skinner, Piaget, Halliday, Chomsky, and Karmiloff-Smith -- as well as research done by linguists and pschologists, and offers pivotal reinterpretations on how children develop language.
