This dissertation examines the impact of the type of referring expression on the acquisition of word order variation in German-speaking preschoolers. A puzzle in the area of language acquisition concerns the production-comprehension asymmetry for non-canonical sentences like "Den Affen fängt die Kuh." (“The monkey, the cow chases.”), that is, preschoolers usually have difficulties in accurately understanding non-canonical sentences approximately until age six (e.g., Dittmar et al., 2008) although they produce non-canonical sentences already around age three (e.g., Poeppel & Wexler, 1993; Weissenborn, 1990).

This book contains 51 chapters based on papers presented at the GALA (Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition) conference held in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2011. It thus reflects the GALA 2011 scientific presentations and discussions and raises issues that are currently at the centre of language acquisition research. Such issues examined in this volume include first and second language acquisition and processing by children and adults; language acquisition by individuals with linguistic and/or cognitive impairment; and cross-linguistic comparisons in (a)typical language acquisition. As such, Advances in Language Acquisition constitutes a valuable reference guide for current work on the interdisciplinary research field of language acquisition.

Im Frühjahr 2007 fand in Dortmund der Bundeskongress der Kunstpädagogik statt. Vertreterinnen und Vertreter des Faches aus der Schulpraxis, Forschung und Lehrerausbildung diskutierten aktuelle Inhalte der Kunst- und Bildvermittlung. Der nun vorliegende Tagungsband fasst ausgewählte Beiträge des Kongresses zusammen und geht zugleich über sie hinaus, indem innovative und zum Teil kontroverse Positionen der Kunstpädagogik vorgestellt werden. Das Buch ist eine anschauliche Einführung in den aktuellen Stand ihrer Debatte und Inhalte.
This book introduces current concepts in art teaching and the historical roots of the discipline. The complex causal framework linking education and art serves as the starting-point and the thread on which the presentation is based. The professional fields involved in art teaching - particularly art teaching in schools - and the target groups and methods are then discussed in detail. The volume also provides an in-depth introduction to central fields of scholarly research on art and provides information about the most important questions for study courses.
