A Developmentalfunctionalist Approach To Child Language by Nancy Budwi

A Developmentalfunctionalist Approach To Child Language by Nancy Budwi Description

Although there has been much empirical study within what has been referred to as functional approaches to child language, there has yet to be a major attempt to compare and contrast such proposals. In addition, much of the work carried out within child language from a functionalist perspective has not been specific with regard to the nature of the approach adopted. In attempting to fill the gap, the author of this book begins with a comparison of various functionalist approaches.
