Synopsis:

Word learning may seem like a relatively simple task facing young language learners, when compared with the demands of learning grammar. However, closer enquiry highlights the multiple challenges in lexical acquisition. In this compilation, international experts consider word learning to be a continuous learning process, examining children's interaction with words in their entirety. This novel approach looks at the full evolution of the word from the proto-word unit devoid of meaning, to mapping meaning, to skilled recognition. The book draws on cutting-edge research in infant eye-tracking, neuroimaging techniques and computational modelling to bring together diverse perspectives to provide a comprehensive and unified account of early word learning. It will be invaluable for courses in early language development.
