Certain Language Skills in Children: Their Development and Interrelationships

FREDERIC L. DARLEY PH.D.

Every specialist in child behavior—every practitioner of the pediatric approach—will find in this detailed descriptive report the most comprehensive body of normative language data pertaining to children yet published. It is a valuable contribution to all whose work requires a grasp of the complexities of physical, intellectual, and social growth of children, including growth in language production and comprehension.
