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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110647914 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110647914 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110647914/original ER -
