{"product_id":"what-it-takes-to-talk-paul-ibbotson-9783110992038","title":"What It Takes to Talk: Exploring Developmental Cognitive Linguistics","description":"This book puts cognition back at the heart of the language learning process and challenges the idea that language acquisition can be meaningfully understood as a purely linguistic phenomenon. For each domain placed under the spotlight - memory, attention, inhibition, categorisation, analogy and social cognition - the book examines how they shape the development of sounds, words and grammar. The unfolding cognitive and social world of the child interacts with, constrains, and predicts language use at its deepest levels. The conclusion is that language is special, not because it is an encapsulated module separate from the rest of cognition, but because of the forms it can take rather than the parts it is made of, and because it could be nature's finest example of cognitive recycling and reuse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Ibbotson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110992035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110992038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Paul Ibbotson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078803026175,"sku":"9783110992038","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5407850-91c7-485e-a1fa-827a5a792b14.jpg?v=1685477610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-it-takes-to-talk-paul-ibbotson-9783110992038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
