Elena Babatsouli is Director of the Institute of Monolingual and Bilingual Speech in Chania, Greece. Her research focuses on phonology/phonetics and morphology, and her research interests include typical and atypical language acquisition (first, second, bilingual) and language use (dialects and speech errors).
David Ingram is Professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences, Arizona State University, USA. His research interests include language acquisition in typically developing children and children with language disorders, with a crosslinguistic focus.
Nicole Müller is Professor and Head of the Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences, University College Cork, Ireland. Her research interests include multilingualism and neurogenic and neurodegenerative conditions leading to cognitive-communicative impairments. She is co-editor (with Martin J. Ball) of the book series Communication Disorders Across Languages.
Babatsouli, Ingram, Müller and team provide thinking SLPs/SLTs with a relevant, readable, sophisticated, research-driven and clinically applicable account of straighforward and disordered crosslinguistic language acquisition in English, Farsi, Icelandic, isiXhosa, Mandarin, Slovene, and more. In a word: polished.
Caroline Bowen, Macquarie University, Australia; the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
This volume is an exciting collection of works which turn "diversity into a core theme". The editors have masterfully brought together studies dealing with typical and atypical language development, cross-linguistic and bilingual research, and language assessment and methodology. The overall result is a comprehensive yet innovative account of recent findings in cross-linguistic language acquisition.
Margaret Kehoe, University of Geneva, Switzerland
This volume addresses cutting-edge topics relevant to assessment and treatment of children acquiring language in bilingual learning environments. The varied developmental levels and language acquisition topics covered will provide a needed resource for both clinicians and researchers related to typical and atypical language development profiles in bilingual children.
