{"product_id":"9780521034517","title":"First Verbs : A Case Study of Early Grammatical Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the second year of his daughter's life, Michael Tomasello kept a detailed diary of her language, creating a rich database. He made a careful study of how she acquired her first verbs and analysed the role that verbs played in her early grammatical development. Using a Cognitive Linguistics framework, the author argues persuasively that the child's earliest grammatical organization is verb-specific (the Verb Island hypothesis). He argues further that early language is acquired by means of very general cognitive and social-cognitive processes, especially event structures and cultural learning. The richness of the database and the analytical tools used make First Verbs a particularly useful and important book for developmental psychologists, linguists, language development researchers and speech pathologists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52274163253559,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":368.42,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780521034517-1.jpg?v=1783113046","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780521034517","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
