Re: Human language acquisition

Incidentally, for the benefit of the OP and the initial question...the
following book will have some useful information:

Bishop D. and Mogford K. (eds.) (1988) Language development in exceptional
circumstances. Edinburgh ; New York : Churchill Livingstone.

P 118 L265 1988


It includes among other things discussion language acquisition in
congenitally blind children (which has always been an amazing thing to me,
since we learn the meaning of nouns by ostension, generally), and will
probably have stuff to say on "non-producing" children...



Cheers,

Fred.
