Books by Dan Isaac Slobin

First Published in 1994. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Volume one from this series contains comprehensive studies on the acquisition of 15 different languages (from ASL to Samoan), written by researchers who specialize in each topic.

This is a result of a research project that studied the development of linguistic form in narrative discourse. The analysis addresses the issue of how the structural properties and rhetorical preferences of different languages impinge on narrative abilities across different phases of development.
