This book offers a clear and engaging exploration of how children acquire language from the moment they are born. It delves into the stages of language development, highlighting key milestones and the cognitive processes involved. By examining various factors that influence language learning, it provides insights into both typical and atypical development. The accessible approach makes it suitable for parents, educators, and students interested in understanding the intricacies of how children learn to communicate.

The series is a platform for contributions of all kinds to this rapidly developing field. General problems are studied from the perspective of individual languages, language families, language groups, or language samples. Conclusions are the result of a deepened study of empirical data. Special emphasis is given to little-known languages, whose analysis may shed new light on long-standing problems in general linguistics.
