Uncommon Understanding: Development and Disorders of Language Comprehension in Children

A great deal has been written on how children learn to speak, but development of language comprehension has been a relatively neglected topic. Download Uncommon Understanding medical books for free.
This book is unique in integrating research in language acquisition, psycholinguistics and neuropsychology to give a comprehensive picture of the process we call "comprehension", right from the reception of an acoustic stimulus at the ear, up to the point where we interpret the message the speaker intended to convey by the utterance. A major theme of the book is that "comprehension" is not a unitary skill: to understand spoken language, one needs the ability to classify incoming speech sounds, to relate them to a "mental lexicon", to interpret the propositions encoded by word order and grammatical inflections, Get Uncommon Understanding our bestseller medical books.
