Erika Hoff's LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, 5th Edition communicates both the content and the excitement of this quickly evolving field. By presenting a balanced treatment that examines all sides of the issues, Hoff helps readers understand different theoretical points of view-- and the research processes that have lead theorists to their findings. After an overview and history of the field, Hoff thoroughly covers the biological bases of language development and the core topics of phonological, lexical, and syntactic development. She also provides in-depth discussions of the communicative foundations of language, the development of communicative competence, language development in special populations, childhood bilingualism, and language development in the school years.

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017
I bought this text for research purposes, to have as a reference. I think it's probably a good reference for graduate students and even experienced researchers. It may not be the best reference, however for clinicians/teachers/speech-language pathologists who want a practical reference for child language development. It is very, very dense and perhaps too theoretical for those purposes. One thing I particularly liked about this text was that it included a bit more than I've seen in other books about school-aged language, particularly at the discourse level.

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2014
Read the entire book, and answered all the questions in all 11 chapters. Learned a lot about language acquisition. Worth the $190 spent... but I will be reselling it back to amazon for $150 since I don't need the book anymore. :)

Reviewed in Canada on November 4, 2016
The paper is a bit thin so it rips easily with post it notes and the pages are all black and white (makes readings a bit bland and difficult) but the price was affordable and ideal. Took 3 weeks to ship which expected since it was in September.
