Phonological Development (eBook, ePUB)

The First Two Years

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on major research developments in the field, Vihman has updated and extensively revised the 1996 edition of her classic text to provide a thorough and stimulating overview of current studies of child production and perception and early word learning. * Offers a full survey of the thinking on how babies develop phonological knowledge * Provides a much needed update on the field - one in which this book remains unique, and in which there have also been dramatic developments since the publication of the first edition * Surveys what has been learned about phonological development and raises questions for further study * The only book that includes balanced treatment of research in perception and production and attempts a synthesis of these fields, which have generally developed in isolation from one another * Includes a new chapter providing an overview of communicative and attentional development, as well as perceptual and vocal development, in the first 18 months, with additional focus on both implicit and explicit learning mechanisms

Rezensionen

"This open-minded, comprehensive overview of the intersecting components of phonological development is a masterpiece that should shape new directions of research for many years to come. Vihman elucidates the many underlying assumptions, some in conflict with one another, that have guided research on phonological development, and lays out clearly the relevance of individual variability in very young children. Vihman's work will cause researchers in the disparate areas of perception, production, word learning, variation, and phonological universals to be informed by each other's results, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of phonological development."
-Sharon Inkelas, University of California, Berkeley
"Phonological Development: The First Two Years (Second Edition) is essential reading and a primary text for all specialists and students in language development as well as those interested in phonological development in particular. It provides in-depth and up-to-date coverage of all areas of research relevant to understanding phonological development, with comprehensive reviews of both empirical findings and theoretical frameworks. An emphasis is made on the need to relate the development of perception and production, and the study of phonological development to broader areas of language acquisition. Besides eleven chapters, it also contains valuable appendices on protowords and template analyses. To my knowledge it is the most thorough and important book on this topic to date."
-David Ingram, Arizona State University
"Marilyn Vihman's work unfolds on the center court of child phonology research. This book gives a broad and insightful account of this complex topic--a treatment that is likely to serve, for a long time, as an indispensable reference on the early stages of learning to speak." -Björn Lindblom, Stockholm University
"This eagerly awaited second edition masterfully updates Vihman's review of research on earlier themes as well as on several new themes, much of which attests to the profound inspiration of the seminal first edition." -Mary Beckman, Ohio State University
