About the Book

Introduction to Language Development, Third Edition offers a highly accessible overview to the complexities of language development. The textbook is designed for use in language acquisition courses in undergraduate and graduate speech-language pathology programs to facilitate both teaching and learning. Complex terminology and theories are explained through definitions and examples to ensure that students are able to easily grasp the content. Within the third edition of this text, students are presented with language factors-syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, and pragmatics-as well as the cognitive abilities that underlie language development. Multilingual and multicultural differences are explored throughout.
