First Language Acquisition

Beschreibung

How do children learn to talk? They are exposed to language from birth, interacting with knowledgeable speakers who correct errors and offer extensive practice. Clark provides a comprehensive exploration of first language acquisition, from a baby's first sounds to a child's growing ability to negotiate, explain and entertain using language.
