Four chapters in the book's first section, Matters Mainly Psychological, describe empirical observations that explore how a child copes with the fact that many different name-like words can be applied to a single object. A second major section, Matters Mainly Linguistic, contains chapters on phonology, the learning of grammatical categories, the definite and indefinite articles, and the plural. A third section, Matters Mainly Philosophical, focuses entirely on the complex issues of reference and meaning. A final chapter reflects on the implications of the book for developmental psychology.An MIT Press\/Bradford Book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928840405280,"sku":"NEW0262630923","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/names-for-things-a-study-of-human-learning-bradford-books-0262630923","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
