Detalles del libro
Some children can hear and can speak, yet have trouble understanding or producing utterances. In this accessible introduction to children's language difficulties, Shula Chiat explores the stumbling blocks which lie behind their struggle. The uniqueness of this book lies in its focus on individual children, the extensive and intriguing examples which illustrate their problems, and the step-by-step search for the source of those problems. Difficulties with words, verb structures, function morphemes and meaning are examined and illustrated by detailed case studies." "This book provides a clear overview of what children with language difficulties say and do, and introduces a logical approach to analysing children's language problems. It will be welcomed by students of linguistics, psycholinguistics and speech and language therapy; researchers in the areas of language development and language disorders; therapists and teachers working with children with language and communication impairments; and lay people with an interest in how children discover their language.
