UNDERSTANDING CHILD LANGUAGE
ACQUISITION
Paul Fletcher, University of Reading

(Understanding Language)
(An Arnold Publication)

How children acquire their first language is of great
interest to linguists because it may give insight into
the nature of language itself. This text offers an
accessible introduction to first language acquisition
for undergraduates. As part of the Understanding
Language series, it will also have a cross-linguistic,
typological slant that is particularly relevant and
desirable in language acquisition studies.
