This book brings together twelve previously unpublished language profiles based on the original Language Assessment, Remediation and Screening Procedure (LARSP). The languages featured are: Afrikaans, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Finnish, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Malay and Swedish. Each chapter includes a grammatical sketch of the language, details of typical language development in speakers of the language, as well as a description of and justification for the profile itself. The book will be an invaluable resource for speech-language pathologists and others wishing to analyse the grammatical abilities of individuals speaking one of these languages. This new collection complements a previous book in this series on the same theme: Assessing Grammar: The Languages of LARSP (Ball et al., 2012,).

Industry Reviews

This second volume of research on LARSP provides important new information on 12 Asian, European and South African languages. Each chapter offers a concise overview of that language's grammar, a synopsis of research on children's grammatical development and a language-specific profile chart. Along with a chapter providing a fresh look at LARSP stage V in English-speaking children, this unique book will be a valuable resource to clinicians and researchers.
