Atypical Language Development in Romance Languages
This book presents a range of ongoing studies on atypical language development in Romance languages. Despite the steady increase in the number of studies on typical language development, there is still little research about atypical language development, especially in Romance languages. This book covers four main conditions causing atypical language development. Part I explores the linguistic and communicative characteristics of preterm children learning Romance languages. The focus of Part II centers on children with Specific Language Impairment. Hearing Loss in Part III is another relevant factor leading to atypical language development. The final part IV zeroes in on genetic syndromes coupled to cognitive impairment with special attention to language development. This book presents a much needed overview of the most recent findings in all relevant fields dealing with atypical language development in children speaking Romance languages.
Demystifying Bilingualism
This book analyses changing views on bilingualism in Cognitive Psychology and explores their socio-cultural embeddedness. It offers a new, innovative perspective on the debate on possible cognitive (dis)advantages in bilinguals, arguing that it is biased by popular “language myths”, which often manifest themselves in the form of metaphors. Since its beginnings, Cognitive Psychology has consistently modelled the coexistence between languages in the brain using metaphors of struggle, conflict and competition. However, an ideological shift from nationalist and monolingual ideologies to the celebration of bilingualism under multicultural and neoliberal ideologies in the course of the 20th century fostered opposing interpretations of language coexistence in the brain and its effects on bilinguals at different moments in time. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Cognitive Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Multilingualism and Applied Linguistics, Cognitive and Computational Linguistics, and Critical Metaphor Analysis.
Language Acquisition in Romance Languages
The research presented in this volume covers first language acquisition, second language acquisition, language heritage and language impairment. Papers in this collection use a variety of experimental methods, such as eye-tracking, elicitation tasks, production tasks administered off-line and untimed, transcriptions of spontaneous speech, production elicitation, Truth Value Judgement tasks, standardized tests and multiple choice tasks. The studies included in this book try to cover most of the methods used in first and second language acquisition in typical and atypical populations. This book will be useful for linguists, speech therapists, and psycholinguists working on first, second and impaired language acquisition.
Language Development and Disorders in Spanish-speaking Children
Prominent researchers from the US, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Spain contribute experimental reports on language development of children who are acquiring Spanish. The chapters cover a wide range of dimensions in acquisition: comprehension and production; monolingualism and bilingualism; typical development, children who are at risk and children with language disorders, phonology, semantics, and morphosyntax. These studies will inform linguistic theory development in clinical linguistics as well as offer insights on how language works in relation to cognitive functions that are associated with when children understand or use language. The unique data from child language offer perspectives that cannot be drawn from adult language. The first part is dedicated to the acquisition of Spanish as a first or second language by typically-developing children, the second part offers studies on children who are at risk of language delays, and the third part focuses on children with specific language impairment, disorders and syndromes.
Els llenguatges de l’infant: del cos i la parla a l’escriptura
Com diu l'educador Loris Malaguzzi, l'infant té un centenar de llenguatges que molt poques vegades se li reconeixen i li deixen experimentar i viure plenament. Aquest centenar, però, hi existeix! Aquest llibre pretén, a partir de les aportacions interdisciplinàries de la psicologia, de l'educació emocional, de la psicoteràpia, de les neurociències, de la psicolingüística, de la lingüística i de la didàctica del llenguatge oral i del llenguatge escrit, donar a conèixer les darreres teories innovadores sobre el paper i la funció del mestre en la construcció de l'infant lector i escriptor i la importància dels diferents llenguatges (corporal, emocional, artístic, oral, escrit, etc.) per ajudar el propi infant que descobreixi i ampliï les seves potencialitats com a ésser parlant, lector i escriptor en el món del segle XXI.
La influencia de la tecnología en la investigación educativa pospandemia
El libro surge en un contexto de incertidumbre derivada de la situación de pandemia vivida estos últimos años, en el cual la presencia de determinadas tecnologías se ha incrementado y estas han pasado a utilizarse en escenarios antes impensables. De hecho, las circunstancias han impulsado enormemente el acercamiento y el uso de las tecnologías digitales tanto en el aula como en el entorno de la enseñanza no presencial. De ahí la implementación y consolidación de nuevas modalidades de enseñanza. Este amoldamiento imperativo a un nuevo modelo de enseñanza virtual ha evidenciado, en muchos casos, la falta de recursos y de formación a la hora de desenvolvernos dentro del nuevo paradi...
