The Language of Early Childhood: Volume 4 (Collected Works of M.A.K. Halliday) 1st Edition by M.A.K. Halliday (PDF)

Description

For nearly half a century, Professor M. A. K. Halliday has been enriching the discipline of linguistics with his keen insights into the social semiotic phenomenon we call language. This ten-volume series presents the seminal works of Professor Halliday. This fourth volume contains sixteen papers that look at the development of early childhood language. They are presented in three parts: infancy and protolanguage; the transition from child tongue to mother tongue; and early language and learning. The sociolinguistic account of the early development of the mother tongue presented by Professor Halliday is based on his intensive study of the language of one particular child, Nigel, for the period from nine- to eighteen months.

Editorial Reviews: Review ‘These four volumes (4,5,6 and 7) venture into remarkably diverse fields. How one man could master the minutiae of all these areas of linguistic research is a matter for wonder and admiration. As a linguistic polymath, Halliday far outstrips all contemporaries…One need look for no further explanation of Halliday’s current stature as doyen of British linguistics.The publication of Halliday’s complete papers is an important contribution to scholarly documentation.’ (Roy Harris Times Literary Supplement)’These four volumes (4,5,6 and 7) venture into remarkably diverse fields.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐My reason for purchasing this as a professional reference was completely fulfilled by this book. Halliday’s research was very thorough and his explanations and conclusions on the development of language are fascinating and provide much insight into early childhood learning.

⭐Halliday macht m.E. ganz deutlich, warum eine Theorie des angeborenen Language Acquisition Device à la Chomsky oder Pinker völlig unnötig ist, um die Sprachentwicklung in der Kindheit zu erklären.
