Abstract
It could be expected that this book would begin with a general discussion of language acquisition and its principles. Since this has been done by a considerable number of authors and at considerable length elsewhere, I will not attempt such a review, but will restrict myself to setting out as concisely as possible the working framework which directed the organization and interpretation of the research to be reported.
