Language Development and Language Impairment: A Problem-Based Introduction

Language Development and Language Impairment offers a problem-based introduction to the assessment and treatment of a wide variety of childhood language developmental disorders.  Focuses for the most part on the pre-school years, the period during which the foundations for language development are laid Uses a problem-based approach, designed  to motivate students to find the information they need to identify and explore learning issues that a particular speech or language issue raises Examines the development of a child’s phonological system, the growth of vocabulary, the development of grammar, and issues related to conversational and narrative competence Integrates information on typical and atypical language development

Language Acquisition: Language Development

Language Acquisition is the work of distinguished specialists from many countries and will provide an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike who have an interest in the field of child language acquisition. This second edition reflects recent theoretical developments in the field, and about half the chapters are entirely new.

This book demonstrates the contribution that statistics can and should make to linguistic studies. The range of work to which statistical analysis is applicable is vast: including, for example, language acquisition, language variation and many aspects of applied linguistics. The authors give a wide variety of linguistic examples to demonstrate the use of statistics in summarising data in the most appropriate way, and then making helpful inferences from the processed information. The range of techniques introduced by the book will help the reader both to evaluate and make use of literature which employs statistical analysis, and to apply statistics in their own research. Each chapter gives step-by-step explanations of particular techniques using examples from a number of fields, and is followed by extensive exercises. The early part of the book provides a thorough grounding in probability and statistical inference, and then progresses through methods such as chi-squared and analysis of variance, to multivariate methods such as cluster analysis, principal components analysis and factor analysis. None of these techniques requires the reader to have a grasp of mathematics more complex than simple algebra. Students and researchers in many fields of linguistics will find this book an invaluable introduction to the use of statistics, and a practical text for the development of skills in the application of statistics.

A comprehensive sourcebook on normal and nonnormal child language development. All aspects of the subject are addressed, including phonetics, phonology, grammar, and lexical development. Connectionism and government-binding theory, as applied to language development, are fully represented. The relevance of input, cognition, and social factors to language development is explored. Chapters on methodology, particularly using computer databases, are provided for both normal and nonnormal acquisition. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Gas turbine performance is an applied reference for all those who design, manufacture and operate gas turbines. It is a comprehensive and practical guide to all the main aspects of performance, including topics not well covered elsewhere, such as transient performance, starting, windmilling and analysis of engine test data. Gas turbine performance will meet a real need not only for those in the gas turbine industry, but also for gas turbine operators and purchasers such as airframe manufacturers, airlines and airforces, power utilities, the oil and gas industry and equipment suppliers. It will also be of significiant value to undergraduates of mechanical and aeronautical engineering.
