Research on child language is an interdisciplinary enterprise, uniting the efforts of psychologists, linguists, computer scientists, educators, neuroscientists and communication scientists. In selecting representative readings from this broad and fast-moving field, the editors of this collection have emphasized recent papers that illustrate the contribution of child language research to developmental cognitive science.\  Language Development: The Essential Readings provides readers with a survey of the key topics in language development. The broad range of essays included makes an ideal source of reference for anyone interested in linguistics or child development. This book can be used in conjunction with a more general introduction to either child or language development.
