Focusing on the process of how language forms, develops and is used by children, this book discusses listening and talking, the acquisition of new language skills, and knowledge structure. The focus on process, instead of more traditional methods, reflects a new trend in children's language research. Discussions of the newer methods of studying children's language acquisition and disorders are integrated throughout, with an emphasis on the interaction between world knowledge and specific linguistic domains in determing what children understand and what they say.
