Introduction: Emergence and applications of the Lexical Bootstrapping Hypothesis; Pre-language cognition, motion event semantics, and the transition from single words to first sentences; Bootstrapping and the acquisition of MandarinChinese: A natural semantic metalanguage Perspective; Lexical Bootstrapping Hypothesis and conventionality: a crosslinguistic study on verb acquisition by Chinese Mandarin- and Brazilian Portuguese-speaking children; Lexical acquisition through acquisition order; Lexicon-grammar continuity in Turkish children's language growth.

The interrelation between lexical and grammatical abilities in early language acquisitionContinuity of lexical, grammatical, phonetic and phonological development in German late talkers -- A longitudinal study; Function words and the bootstrapping of grammar in normally developing and impaired L1 -acquisition of German; The role of the lexicon in the development of the language processor; Grammar from the lexicon: Evidence from neural network simulations of language acquisition; List of contributors; Index.

Summary: The internal bootstrapps for establishing the grammatical system of a human language build an essential topic in language acquisition research. The discussion of the last 20 years came up with the Lexical Bootstrapping Hypothesis which assigns lexical development the role of the central bootstrapping process. The volume presents work from different theoretical perspectives evaluating the strength and weaknesses of this hypothesis.
