This bibliography, which emphasizes material published between 1957 and 1972, is centered on studies about the normal child's acquisition and development of his first language. Material dealing with handicaps, deviant language development, and second language learning is not included unless it is significantly related to studies of the normal child and his first language. The basic emphasis is on psycholinguistic approaches to the child's acquisition of the English language. Citations are limited to literature published in English that is readily available (thus omitting dissertations, privately distributed reports, and convention papers). More than 500 items are included. (RN)
