Infant Pathways to Language: Methods, Models, and Research Directions

The ways in which the infancy period sets the stage for language acquisition are vital for us to understand if we are to develop accurate means of assessment and prediction that allow for early and effective intervention and also allow for a better understanding of the causes of language acquisition and impairment.
The chapters in this book bring to the reader the contributions of very productive investigators dedicated to studies of infants from a fairly wide range of perspectives.
