Some children can hear and speak, but have trouble understanding or producing sentences. In this accessible guide, and always based on concrete examples of work with children, Shula Chiat explores all her difficulties with words and their meaning, verbal structures and function morphemes. This work provides an excellent and exhaustive review of what children with language difficulties say and do from a scientific analysis of their problems. It will be of great help to students of linguistics, psycholinguistics and speech therapy; for therapists and teachers who work with children with language and communication difficulties; and for people interested in knowing how children awaken to language.
