Published by Lincom

The new book in the Lincom Studies in Language Acquisition and Bilingualism series is dedicated to the acquisition of Russian in monolingual and bilingual contexts. The first two chapters cover a wide range of topics from speech development in infancy, formation of language personality in preschool age, the learning of the deixis, the acquisition of shifters to the development of the lexicon. The focus of the third chapter is on the acquisition of Russian in Germany and Sweden. The fourth part of the book contains papers on the impact of the educational environment on the speech development of young children, the role of ethnopedagogy in the process of language learning of Russian bilingual children, and how Russian is used in the process of psychotherapy.

The volume constitutes an excellent, thought-provoking collection of articles and presents new research findings. It will be very useful for linguists interested in Russian linguistics, psycholinguistics, psychologists and the educators of Russian speaking children.
