How do children learn language?
- How do typically developing children acquire language: when, and in what order do children develop syntax, phonology, morphology, and the lexicon?
- What factors contribute to language development and what theories do we have that can explain why some factors are necessary while others are not?
Welcome to Language Development (SPV 221) at Lehman College Winter 2015.
The textbook for the course (Language Development from Theory to Practice (2nd Edition) by Khara L. Pence Turnbull and Laura M. Justice) is available for rent from Amazon. If you can manage with a digital copy, please do since falling behind in the reading will put you at a significant disadvantage for the course.
The extended Table of Contents is available on Pearson’s website though the formatting is terrible.
The most thorough resource for doing language assessments is: Assessment in Speech-Language Pathology (4th Edition) by Kenneth G. Shipley and Julie G. McAfee
