Children's speech and communication

Few human abilities are as self-evident as a child's ability to learn and communicate in a language. Although children's language acquisition has been the subject of psychological and linguistic research for more than a century, even today this process is not fully explored. The book explains the process of language acquisition and the development of communication skills in children based on theories and research in developmental psycholinguistics. Introduces readers to the latest theoretical and research findings on how language and communication skills emerge and develop in children from birth and during the preschool years. The publication is intended primarily for students of psychology, linguistics, pedagogy, university teachers of these disciplines and also for kindergarten teachers.
