Theoretical Issues in Language Development and Chinese Child Language

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory ((SNLT,volume 36))

Abstract

Researchers on child language have examined a wide range of theoretical issues in the past three decades. Some of these issues are general in character, relevant to various components of grammar; others only pertain to particular domains of investigation. An understanding of these issues based on empirical data from typologically diverse languages is essential to the construction of theories about how grammars develop in the brain.
