Annotation

A tentative framework for a functional, or sociolinguistic, account of the development of the mothertongue is suggested. The book is based on integrative versions of M.A.K. Halliday (1974: 'A sociosemiotic perspective on language development', 1975: 'Learning how to mean', and 1976: 'Early language learning'), next to some previously unpublished texts.
