Abstract:
 
This fourth volume contains sixteen pepers that look at the
development of early childhood language. They are presented in three
parts: infancy and protolanguage; the transition from child tongue to
mother tongue; and early language and learning. The sociolinguistic
account of the early development of the mother tongue presented by
Professor Halliday is based on his intensive study of the language of
one particular child, Nigel, for the period from nine to eighteen
months. The complete 'Nigel Transcripts' are included as a CD with
this volume.
