Language Development and Disorders in Spanish-speaking Children
Prominent researchers from the US, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Spain contribute experimental reports on language development of children who are acquiring Spanish. The chapters cover a wide range of dimensions in acquisition: comprehension and production; monolingualism and bilingualism; typical development, children who are at risk and children with language disorders, phonology, semantics, and morphosyntax. These studies will inform linguistic theory development in clinical linguistics as well as offer insights on how language works in relation to cognitive functions that are associated with when children understand or use language. The unique data from child language offer perspectives that cannot be drawn from adult language. The first part is dedicated to the acquisition of Spanish as a first or second language by typically-developing children, the second part offers studies on children who are at risk of language delays, and the third part focuses on children with specific language impairment, disorders and syndromes.
Language Acquisition in Romance Languages
The research presented in this volume covers first language acquisition, second language acquisition, language heritage and language impairment. Papers in this collection use a variety of experimental methods, such as eye-tracking, elicitation tasks, production tasks administered off-line and untimed, transcriptions of spontaneous speech, production elicitation, Truth Value Judgement tasks, standardized tests and multiple choice tasks. The studies included in this book try to cover most of the methods used in first and second language acquisition in typical and atypical populations. This book will be useful for linguists, speech therapists, and psycholinguists working on first, second and impaired language acquisition.
Demystifying Bilingualism
This book analyses changing views on bilingualism in Cognitive Psychology and explores their socio-cultural embeddedness. It offers a new, innovative perspective on the debate on possible cognitive (dis)advantages in bilinguals, arguing that it is biased by popular “language myths”, which often manifest themselves in the form of metaphors. Since its beginnings, Cognitive Psychology has consistently modelled the coexistence between languages in the brain using metaphors of struggle, conflict and competition. However, an ideological shift from nationalist and monolingual ideologies to the celebration of bilingualism under multicultural and neoliberal ideologies in the course of the 20th century fostered opposing interpretations of language coexistence in the brain and its effects on bilinguals at different moments in time. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Cognitive Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Multilingualism and Applied Linguistics, Cognitive and Computational Linguistics, and Critical Metaphor Analysis.
Fluency and Reading Comprehension in Typical Readers and Dyslexic Readers: Volume II
This Research Topic is the second edition of Fluency and reading comprehension in typical readers and dyslexics readers: Volume I This Second Edition Research Topic is focused on the characterization of the reading-writing difficulties and their comorbidities and in the analysis of evidence-based recommendations for early interventions and treatment of these difficulties within the fields of neuropsychology, speech-language pathology, and educational psychology. Reading involves decoding and comprehension components, and to become efficient it requires a large number of cognitive and linguistic processes. Among those, decoding failures can have different origins, such as deficits in phonolog...
Atypical Language Development in Romance Languages
This book presents a range of ongoing studies on atypical language development in Romance languages. Despite the steady increase in the number of studies on typical language development, there is still little research about atypical language development, especially in Romance languages. This book covers four main conditions causing atypical language development. Part I explores the linguistic and communicative characteristics of preterm children learning Romance languages. The focus of Part II centers on children with Specific Language Impairment. Hearing Loss in Part III is another relevant factor leading to atypical language development. The final part IV zeroes in on genetic syndromes coupled to cognitive impairment with special attention to language development. This book presents a much needed overview of the most recent findings in all relevant fields dealing with atypical language development in children speaking Romance languages.
Parental Questionnaires as a Reliable Instrument for the Assessment of Child Language Development
Language is crucial in child development. Therefore, general questions such as what are the possible challenges in language acquisition or such as how well the/my child is doing, are commonly present for researchers, clinicians, teachers, and parents. Parent-child interaction offers a privileged setting to observe children’s behavior in multiple communicative situations, which often is only available to the parents/caregivers. For this reason, within the broad range of methods used to assess children’s development, parental questionnaires are widely used being a non-invasive and inexpensive instrument to obtain information which is otherwise difficult to obtain. Data obtained with the many questionnaires covering various aspects of child development and communicative competence are equally relevant for basic research and everyday clinical practice. Development and use of parental questionnaires as well as data interpretation frequently require an interdisciplinary and cross-sector approach, bringing together developmental psychologists and practitioners. This interdisciplinarity is assumed but rarely addressed directly.
Dificultades del lenguaje en los trastornos del desarrollo (Vol III)
El tercer volumen de esta obra recoge una actualización de las investigaciones sobre las patologías del desarrollo que, siguiendo el proyecto CATALISE, no descartan un trastorno primario del lenguaje. Por un lado, se presentan los principales factores de riesgo, socioemocionales y prematuridad de las dificultades del lenguaje. Por otro, los trastornos del neurodesarrollo que pueden presentar dificultades comórbidas el trastorno del desarrollo del lenguaje o al trastorno específico del lenguaje: los trastornos del aprendizaje y de las funciones ejecutivas.
Inventaris del desenvolupament d’habilitats comunicatives MacArthur-Bates en català
En aquest manual presentem una eina d’avaluació fàcil i útil per als professionals del desenvolupament infantil. Els inventaris del desenvolupament comunicatiu i lingüístic MacArthur-Bates, a partir de les observacions de les mares i els pares, descriuen, situen i permeten seguir l’adquisició de les competències comunicatives i lingüístiques dels infants entre els 8-18 mesos (CDI-I) i els 16-30 mesos (CDI-II). El CDI-I inclou les primeres mostres de comprensió del llenguatge, la comprensió i l’expressió de les primeres paraules en català, els gestos comunicatius que els infants produeixen i les accions simbòliques en què participen. El CDI-II inclou la producció d’un inventari ampli de paraules en català, les habilitats morfològiques, així com la complexitat gramatical dels enunciats infantils.
Aquisição de língua materna e não materna
O presente volume é uma introdução ao estudo da aquisição e desenvolvimento linguísticos. Embora especialmente dedicado à aquisição do português como língua materna e não materna, assume uma perspetiva comparada, confrontando dados da aquisição desta língua com os disponíveis para outras línguas do mundo. Surge na sequência da necessidade de um livro de carácter introdutório de apoio à atividade pedagógica nesta área do saber, suprindo uma lacuna há muito sentida por docentes e discentes. Integra capítulos da autoria de vários especialistas portugueses e brasileiros, o que permitiu compilar uma parte substancial do trabalho de investigação sobre aquisição do por...
