The handbook of child language.

Primero, se hace una aproximación a distintas teorías y métodos lingüísticos de los últimos treinta años, en los que los investigadores estudian las implicaciones de nuevos modelos, técnicas y de varias disciplinas, psicología, neurociencia cognitiva, inteligencia artificial, filosofía y teoría de la socialización. Después,se ofrece un completo panorama sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje infantil, que abarca todos los aspectos: fonética, fonología, gramática y desarrollo del léxico.

The Cambridge handbook of child language.

Este manual tiene como objetivo proporcionar una visión general de los actuales enfoques teóricos y de investigación en una amplia gama de temas relacionados con el lenguaje infantil. El campo es multidimensional, como lo demuestran los numerosos cursos sobre el lenguaje infantil o la adquisición del lenguaje que se enseñan en los departamentos de lingüística, psicología, ciencia cognitiva, logopedia, educación y antropología. Está organizado por temas agrupados en cinco bloques temáticos que abarcan tanto las teorías como los métodos en la investigación del lenguaje infantil y siguiendo el desarrollo del lenguaje desde la pre-lingüística de la infancia hasta la adolescencia.

Subjective impressions of child cochlear-implant users: effects of conversational fluency, intelligibility, speech perception, and communication mode

This paper investigates the conversational fluency of young cochlear implant users. The study compares objective measures and subjective impressions of conversation fluency, relates how children’s communication skills influence both objective and subjective measures of conversational fluency, and compares the performance of children who use an oral mode with those who use a total communication mode in everyday conversation.

Comparison of child morbidity in two contrasting medieval cemeteries from Denmark

This study compares associations between demographic profiles, long bone lengths, bone mineral content, and frequencies of stress indicators in the preadult populations of two medieval skeletal assemblages from Denmark. One is from a leprosarium, and thus probably represents a disadvantaged group (Naestved). The other comes from a normal, and in comparison rather privileged, medieval community (AEbelholt). Previous studies of the adult population indicated differences between the two skeletal collections with regard to mortality, dental size, and metabolic and specific infectious disease. The two samples were analyzed against the view known as the "osteological paradox" (Wood et al. [1992] Curr. Anthropol. 33:343-370), according to which skeletons displaying pathological modification are likely to represent the healthier individuals of a population, whereas those without lesions would have died without acquiring modifications as a result of a depressed immune response. Results reveal that older age groups among the preadults from Naestved are shorter and have less bone mineral content than their peers from AEbelholt. On average, the Naestved children have a higher prevalence of stress indicators, and in some cases display skeletal signs of leprosy. This is likely a result of the combination of compromised health and social disadvantage, thus supporting a more traditional interpretation. The study provides insights into the health of children from two different biocultural settings of medieval Danish society and illustrates the importance of comparing samples of single age groups.
