Language and Speech Therapy Department \ 1-1
Burcu Aydın The mystery of the language that enables communication between people is still not solved today. How do we form words and phrases from a set of sounds and derive complex meanings from them? How do we organize words in our mental dictionary and recall them when necessary? How do we combine words to form sentences and use them in ways that can mean different things in different environments? How does the process of meaning take place in our brain? While this book explains the answers to these questions within the framework of psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic approaches and models, it also provides information about the origin of language and its functioning in the brain.

By climbing the developmental stages, the child acquires a set of skills ranging from eye contact to babbling, from gestures to first words, and from simple sentence combinations to complex sentences. Ultimately, the child who gains literacy skills continues to progress in language development through reading and writing. However, there may be some differences in the developmental process of the child, sometimes due to biomedical and sometimes environmental reasons. Speech and language therapists accompany children and their families who have a different language development adventure throughout this adventure.
This book arose out of a need for up-to-date and Turkish resources for speech and language therapy students and specialists, which are still developing in Turkey. In addition, each of them has been prepared by experts who continue their academic studies in this field for speech and language therapists and considering the child's language development steps. In this sense, it also aims to be a bedside source.
