{"product_id":"childrens-discourse-maya-hickmann-9780521065108","title":"Children's Discourse: Person, Space and Time Across Languages","description":"Psycholinguist Maya Hickmann presents an original comparative study of discourse development in English, French, German, and Chinese. Hickmann discusses the main theoretical issues in the study of first language acquisition and provides a wide review of available studies in three domains of child language: person, space and time. Her findings concern the rhythm of language acquisition, its formal and functional determinants, and its universal vs. language-specific aspects. The conclusions stress the importance of relating sentence and discourse determinants of acquisition in a crosslinguistic perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maya Hickmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521065100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521065108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.92d","brand":"Maya Hickmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437902672127,"sku":"9780521065108","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a8f9de0-b095-4205-aaea-f028bd0ceec4.jpg?v=1777167553","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/childrens-discourse-maya-hickmann-9780521065108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
