Více o knize

The latest volume in the Lincom Studies in Language Acquisition and Bilingualism series explores the acquisition of Russian in both monolingual and bilingual contexts. The initial chapters address various aspects of language development, including speech development in infancy, the formation of language personality during preschool years, deixis learning, and lexicon development. The third chapter specifically examines Russian language acquisition in Germany and Sweden. The fourth section presents research on the influence of educational environments on young children's speech development, the role of ethnopedagogy in teaching Russian to bilingual children, and the application of Russian in psychotherapy. This collection of articles offers thought-provoking insights and new research findings, making it a valuable resource for linguists focused on Russian linguistics, psycholinguistics, psychologists, and educators of Russian-speaking children. Key topics include the acquisition of deixis, shifters, and the lexico-semantic aspects of connected speech in preschoolers, as well as the implications of morpho-syntax in heritage language instruction and strategies for creating supportive educational environments.
