This book presents a general overview of our current knowledge of language development in children. All the principal strands of language development are covered, including phonological, lexical, syntactic and pragmatic development; bilingualism; precursors to language development in infancy; and the language development of children with developmental disabilities, including children with specific language impairment. Written by leading international authorities, each chapter summarises clearly and lucidly our current state of knowledge, and carefully explains and evaluates the theories which have been proposed to account for children's development in that area.

"Yes, I know there are certainly plenty of books on language development out there, but this one really is different and worthy of your attention.."
-Marc Marschark, Department of Research, Rochester Institute of Technology, National Technical Institute for the Deaf in Contemporary Psychology APA Review of Books, 2002.
"This is an up-to-date, important and exciting book that deserves a prominent position on the bookshelves of all researchers who are interested in child language....The contributors to this book not only report and evaluate many of the exciting findings of the field, but also ask themselves searching questions that no doubt will stimulate research over the next few years."
-Gina Conti-Ramsden, "University of Manchester."
