* Expands on more traditional research methods such as collection, transcription, and coding of speech samples that have been transformed by new hardware and software
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Furthermore, the information presented throughout the book will be of immense benefits to an institution's library or to a lecturer or supervisor to provide for their students and researchers. Hence, Research Methods in Child Language is an essential tool for all in the field of child language." (Infant & Child Development, 1 January 2014)"This book, though perhaps of limited use to individuals interested to learn more about a single method of research, since much of the book would therefore be irrelevant, will undoubtedly prove to be an invaluable resource for an institution's library or for a lecturer or supervisor to provide for their
students and researchers." (Linguist, 2 July 2012)
