This bibliography was compiled to alert educators to early language development documents found in the ERIC microfiche collection and in journal literature. Abstracts of selected documents were taken from "Research in Education (RIE)" and journal article citations from the "Current Index to Journals in Education (CIJE)". Included are published and unpublished studies focusing on early languge acquisition, reviews of language research, and language curriculum practices to improve language skills in young children. Descriptors (subject terms used to characterize the entries) appear after each title and will help the users of this bibliography to identify topics covered in the selections. (Author/AJ)
