In this book, Stroik and Putnam take on Turing's challenge. They argue that the narrow syntax – the lexicon, the Numeration, and the computational system – must reside, for reasons of conceptual necessity, within the performance systems.
Language Development Over the Lifespan is intended as a reference resource
for those conducting research on language development and the aging
process, and as a supplementary textbook for MA courses in applied
linguistics/bilingualism programs (in schools of Education and Liberal
Arts) that focus on language attrition/aging and adult literacy development
in second languages. It offers an integrative approach to language
development that examines changes in language over a lifetime, organized by
different theoretical perspectives, which are presented by well-known
international scholars.
