I received the book in good condition and it has become very useful in my studies of language development.
A fantastic collection of ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
It's interesting how different readers can experience a book in such very different ways. Unlike the reviewer who faults the organization of this text, I found the mix of "voices" in the book to be refreshing. While there is perhaps some overlapping of ideas, ultimately the approach creates opportunities for discussion and encourages further thinking about the topics addressed. I recommend this for students (or anyone interested in language development) who want a varied approach to the subject as discussed by some of the leading thinkers in the field.
Very Informative

Gleason's book is great because it offers works from other authors, so that you can gain the perspective of other experts in the field. This book really helped me understand the development of language. The book was particularly useful for me, because I am studying to be a School Psychologist.

Jean Berko Gleasn is a leader in the fields of psychology and linguistics. This book is a comprehensive introduction to language acquisition. It is easy to follow, yet thorough.

I appriciate Gleason's addition of multi-authors (for each chapter), specializing in sub-specialties. I am learning alot!
