Livro - Language Development and Individual Differences

This study examines variation in children's early language development, focussing on the auxiliary verb. Dr Richards identifies significant variation in both the age and stage of emergence of auxiliaries, and in the rate, style and sequence of subsequent development. Some aspects are shown to be related to a tendency to acquire the auxiliary holistically, others to the quality of interaction with the child's conversation partners.

This book will be of value to all those interested in language acquisition, whether linguists, psychologists, speech therapists of lecturers in nursery, infant and special education.This study examines variation in children's early language development, focussing on the auxiliary verb.
