Rothman, J. and Guijarro Fuentes, P. (2012) Linguistic interfaces and language acquisition in childhood: introduction to the special issue. First Language, 32 (1-2). pp. 3-16. ISSN 1740-2344 doi: 10.1177/0142723710396794

Abstract/Summary

Much contemporary L1 acquisition theory and empirical research are guided by the hypothesis that acquisition delays in children are often related to the integration of information across grammatical and other cognitive modules, such as syntax and discourse-pragmatics (see e.g., Grinstead, 2010). This special issue brings together cutting edge research from all relevant paradigms addressing interface issues in child language acquisition and provides a platform for the study of the interaction between different levels of linguistic knowledge. In this introduction, we present the reader with the tools needed to best understand the contributions of the individual studies and what they bring to bear on larger theoretical questions as a collective.
