Recenzii

This unique book is a mini-handbook of human language. Throughout, the emphases are on language in use—narrative, argumentation, literacy, figurative language, and much more. Each chapter is a remarkable mini-course in which the reader will learn the essentials of linguistic structure, cognitive processes of speaking and understanding, sociocultural practices, neurobiology—and all in a developmental framework from infancy through adolescence. The authors are superbly suited to this feat of interdisciplinary mastery. Liliana Tolchinsky and Ruth Berman bring together the fruits of two careers of innovative research in several languages and societies.
A judicious synthesis of a crucial phase in language development, the transition from childhood to adulthood. Growing Into Language is clear, comprehensive, and an invaluable resource.
