The contributors analyze experimental studies of child and adult language acquisition, heritage language development, bilingualism, and language disorders. They consider theoretical and methodological issues; language development in children, discussing topics that range from gestures to errors in person and number agreement; and development and attrition of (morpho)syntactic constructions in second language learners, bilinguals, and Alzheimer's patients. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The approach is \"crosslinguistic\" in three senses of the word: the contributors offer analyses of acquisition phenomena in different languages; they consider \"crosslinguistic influence,\" or the potential effects of multiple languages on one another in the mind of the same speaker; and (in a novel use of the term, proposed by the editors) the chapters bring together theoretical and methodological approaches pertinent to the linguistics of language development in children, adults, and heritage speakers.Preface\u003cbr\u003eI Theoretical and Methodological Considerations\u003cbr\u003e1 Five Questions about Language Learning\u003cbr\u003e2 Coordinate Compounds in Theory and Practice\u003cbr\u003e3 Hard Words\u003cbr\u003e4 Elicited Imitation in First Language Acquisition Research: Cognitive Grounding and Crosslinguistic Application\u003cbr\u003eII Children\u003cbr\u003e5 The Development of Person and Number Agreement in Child Heritage Speakers of Spanish Learning English as a Second Language\u003cbr\u003e6 The Role of Gestures in First and Second Language Acquisition: A Case Study of a Hebrew-English Bilingual Child\u003cbr\u003e7 Discourse-Morphosyntax Interaction in the Acquisition of Spanish Finite and Nonfinite Verbs\u003cbr\u003e8 A Hybrid Approach to Infant-Directed Speech\u003cbr\u003e9 Discontinuous Dependent Morphemes in German and English Parental Speech: Input Differences between Two Languages\u003cbr\u003eIII Adults\u003cbr\u003e10 Syntactic Ambiguity Resolution in Native and Nonnative Speakers of Chinese\u003cbr\u003e11 The Tense Puzzle in Second Language Acquisition\u003cbr\u003e12 Bilingual Processing of the First-Learned Language: Are Heritage Speakers and Late Bilinguals Really that Different?\u003cbr\u003e13 Identifying Early Language Changes in Alzheimer's Disease: Extrapolating Lessons Learned from Methodologies Used in Investigating First Language Acquisition\u003cbr\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003eIndexGita Martohardjono is Associate Professor of Linguistics at Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Suzanne Flynn is Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT.","brand":"The MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302034755813,"sku":"NP9780262542005","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780262542005.jpg?v=1767731109","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/language-in-development-isbn-9780262542005","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
