Methods for Studying Language Production

A panel of productive language researchers share and evaluate methods of eliciting and analyzing language production across the lifespan and in varying populations. Chapters address a wide variety of historical and evolving approaches to data collection for the study of morphosyntax, the lexicon and pragmatics, both laboratory-based and naturalistic. Special concerns that arise in the study of atypical child development, aging, and second language acquisition are a focus of this discussion.
