Dalla quarta di copertina

Language Development: An Introduction, 7/e

Robert E. Owens, Jr.

What I really like about the Owens text is that he goes into enough detail to make it a meaty text for the serious student.

Margery Whites, St. Cloud State University

The Owens Language Development text provides students with a wealth of current information.
