Recensione

'Routes to Child Language: Evolutionary and Developmental Precursors is a stunning achievement which surely represents a new paradigm in language acquisition studies. Demonstrating a remarkable breadth and depth of scope, Joanna Blake weaves a unique tapestry from research of nonhuman primate communication, spoken language development, gesture, symbolic play, object concept, tool use, and the study of memory. As we continue to explore the perennial questions of how language began and how children develop language, it will be richly multidisciplinary studies such as Blake's that will contribute the most to our understanding of the complex achievement that is human language.' Sherman Wilcox, University of New Mexico

Descrizione del libro

This book examines the degree to which apes pave the way to human language, focusing on abilities thought to be critical for language, such as signalling, communicative gestures, tool use, object concept and memory. A review of data shows how these critical abilities influence child language acquisition.
