520 1 $a"This collection emerges from a dynamic and growing network of child language researchers working on the indigenous languages of Mesoamerica. Individually, the papers present innovations in topic, method, and theory. By drawing on extensive field research in a variety of languages, the authors explore such topics as verb learning, case marking, relational markers, and socialization routines. Collectively, these papers challenge many claims about acquisition that have been based mostly on more familiar European languages. They also provide an intellectual contribution to contemporary efforts to understand and support continued acquisition of endangered indigenous languages. In short, this work represents a comparative study of language acquisition."--Jacket.
