Reviews
"This thoroughly revised and updated edition of The Language of Children, first published in 1984, is a reader friendly, well written introductory text on language acquisition. What makes this work different from most texts about language acquisition is its interdisciplinary nature. I consider The Language of Children a valuable book, which makes an accessible, interesting text for students who are non-native speakers of English." Peter Ecke, University of America- Puebla

"We...believe that this book could be used successfully in a lower level undergraduate class, particularly if a comparative perspective is desired." Stan A Kuczaj II and Heather M. Hill, University of Southern Mississippi
