Introduction to Language Development represents an excellent introductory level textbook that presents the basic concepts & terminology associated with each of the behavioral, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic aspects of developing language. The author describes each stage of language development clearly and succinctly, and presents the basic principles and data from an integrated perspective. Extremely insightful, this textbook enhances students' understanding of language development through integration of the subtle biological, cognitive, social, and behavioral dynamics that explain the development of language.
