| adam_text | New languages are constantly emerging, as existing languages diverge into
different forms. To explain this fascinating process, we need to understand
how languages change and how they emerge in children. In this pioneering
study, David Lightfoot explains how languages come into being. He explores
how new systems arise, how they are acquired by children, and how adults
and children play different, complementary roles in language change.
Lightfoot distinguishes between external language (language as it exists in
the world) and internal language (language as represented in an individual s
brain). By examining the interplay between the two, he shows how children
are cue-based learners, who scan their external linguistic environment for
specified structures, making sense of the world outside in order to build their
internal language. The internal properties of human brains provide the means
to interpret speech.
Engaging and original, this book offers a pathbreaking new account of
language acquisition, variation, and change.
David lightfoot is Professor of Linguistics at Georgetown University
and Assistant Director of the National Science Foundation, heading the Direc¬
torate of Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences. He has published ten
books, including The Development of Language
Organ (with
Press).

New languages are constantly emerging, as existing languages diverge into
different forms. To explain this fascinating process, we need to understand
how languages change and how they emerge in children. In this pioneering
study, David Lightfoot explains how languages come into being. He explores
how new systems arise, how they are acquired by children, and how adults
and children play different, complementary roles in language change.
Lightfoot distinguishes between "external language" (language as it exists in
the world) and "internal language" (language as represented in an individual's
brain). By examining the interplay between the two, he shows how children
are "cue-based" learners, who scan their external linguistic environment for
specified structures, making sense of the world outside in order to build their
internal language. The internal properties of human brains provide the means
to interpret speech.
Engaging and original, this book offers a pathbreaking new account of
language acquisition, variation, and change.
