Bavin La Trobe University, Victoria The best survey of the subject available, The Cambridge Handbook of Child Language brings together the world’s foremost researchers to provide a one-stop resource for the study of language acquisition and development. Grouped into five thematic sections, the handbook is organized by topic, making it easier for students and researchers to use when looking up specific in-depth information. It covers a wider range of subjects than any other handbook on the market, with chapters covering both theories and methods in child language research and tracing the development of language from prelinguistic infancy to teenager. Drawing on both established and more recent research, the Handbook surveys the crosslinguistic study of language acquisition; prelinguistic development; bilingualism; sign languages; specific language impairment, language and autism, Down syndrome and Williams syndrome. This book will be an essential reference for students and researchers working in linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, speech pathology, education and anthropology.

Moreover Crain presents experimental data which shows the emergence of these concepts in the languages spoken by young children. ‘This careful and sophisticated study provides powerful empirical evidence, from many sources, for logical nativism, the thesis that human languages make use of the logical concepts and laws of classical logic, and that these are contingent facts that are not learned and not required for a rational creature. It extends the conclusion to other aspects of natural language, its acquisition and use. The conclusions are compelling, and of great import for linguistics, philosophical logic, and psychology of language and mind quite generally.’ Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge Studies in Linguistics, 135 2012 228 x 152 mm 302pp 29 b/w illus. 978-0-521-85809-0 Hardback £65.00 978-0-521-67488-1 Paperback £23.95 eBook available www.cambridge.org/9780521858090 Early Childhood Development and Later Outcome Edited by Sabina Pauen Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany Theories of infant cognition have radically transformed over the span of less than a century.
