Lamendella, John T. – 1975
The prelinguistic child's attempts at communication cannot be viewed as rudimentary language. More than cataloguing overt acts, we need to understand the functional character of both language and non-language communication capabilities, and in particular the maturational stages of the internal communication systems that produce overt behavior in…

Van Lancker, Diana – 1975
This monograph investigates aspects of language processing that are not specialized in the left hemisphere, and claims that there are "levels" (such as pitch functions) and "subsets" (such as phrase structuring) which are different in essential ways from each other, and from the aspects of speech and language which are typically lateralized.…
