This is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the methods
researchers use to study child language, written by experienced
scholars in the study of language development.
* Presents a comprehensive survey of laboratory and naturalistic
techniques used in the study of different domains of language, age
ranges, and populations, and explains the questions addressed by
each technique
* Presents new research methods, such as the use of functional
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (f NIRS) to study the activity of the
brain
