This book presents diverse, original research studies on typical and atypical child language acquisition in monolingual, bilingual and bi-dialectal settings, with a focus on development, assessment and research methodology. Languages investigated in the studies include underrepresented languages, such as Farsi, Greek, Icelandic, isiXhosa, Maltese, Mandarin and Slovene, without excluding representative work in major languages like English and Spanish. The language areas of focus are phonology, lexicon, morphology and syntax and the book incorporates studies in under-researched language impairment, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and language impairment in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome. The book has practical significance in that it proposes tools and assessment practices that are of universal crosslinguistic relevance while also dealing with language-specific complications. The studies presented enhance existing knowledge and stimulate answers on what the acquisition of disparate languages in different contexts can teach us about language/communication development in the presence or absence of disorder.

Crosslinguistic Encounters in Language Acquisition

2002 the UN "Award for Sustainable Development Partnerships" How is it feasible to pay fair prices to farmers and sewers in India, Tanzania or Bangladesh, to protect nature and guarantee sustainable production? The Swiss organic cotton pioneer and founder of Remei AG, Patrick Hohmann, has succeeded against all odds. The fabric that we wear on our skin ruins entire economies and destroys nature. Hohmann no longer wanted to accept this. The reason: "It cannot be fair for an Indian farmer to subsidize my T-shirt." After several bankruptcies, setbacks and disappointments, he succeeded in producing cotton for the benefit of all stakeholders. Hohmann set up the bioRe® Foundation, an independent organization, which promotes organic cotton cultivation in India and Tanzania in cooperation with almost 6000 organic farmers. The foundation supports organic farming as a sustainable livelihood for smallholders and their families; it assures the participation of farming communities by respecting their human rights.

This volume provides a comprehensive and in-depth handbook of qualitative research in the field of communication disorders. It introduces and illustrates the wide range of qualitative paradigms that have been used in recent years to investigate various aspects of communication disorders. The first part of the Handbook introduces in some detail the concept of qualitative research and its application to communication disorders, and describes the main qualitative research approaches. The contributions are forward-looking rather than merely giving an overview of their topic. The second part illustrates these approaches through a series of case studies of different communication disorders using qualitative methods of research. This Handbook is an essential resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and practitioners, in communication disorders and related fields.

Wie ist es möglich, den Bauern und Näherinnen in Indien, Tansania oder Bangladesch faire Preise zu bezahlen, die Natur zu schützen und zugleich nachhaltig zu produzieren? Der Schweizer Baumwoll-Visionär Patrick Hohmann hat es allen Widrigkeiten zum Trotz gewagt. Kaum ein anderer Stoff ist so eng verknüpft mit den negativen Seiten der Globalisierung und des Kapitalismus wie die Baumwolle. Der Stoff, den wir auf der Haut tragen, ruiniert ganze Volkswirtschaften und zerstört die Natur. Hohmann, der lange Jahre im konventionellen Baumwollhandel tätig war, wollte dies nicht länger hinnehmen. Denn, so seine Überzeugung: "Es kann nicht sein, dass ein Bauer aus Indien mein T-Shirt subventioniert." Hohmann gründete die bio-Re® Stiftung, die Bio-Baumwoll-Anbauprojekte in Indien und Tansania als Eigentümerin führt und mit rund 6000 Biobauern zusammenarbeitet. Der Zweck der Stiftung ist die Förderung des Biolandbaus als nachhaltige Lebensgrundlage von Bauernfamilien. Sie unterstützt den Infrastrukturaufbau in den Bereichen Bildung, Gesundheit, Existenzsicherung und fördert die Partizipation der Bauerngemeinschaften mit menschenrechtsbasiertem Ansatz. Heute zählt das von Hohmann gegründete Unternehmen Remei AG zu den Pionieren der Bio-Baumwolle. Das vorliegende Buch erzählt Hohmanns beeindruckende Geschichte.

Denn das ist das Schreckliche an der Liebe, dass die Geliebte oder der Geliebte ein Teil von uns ist, einen Teil von uns ausmacht, den man nicht ausreissen kann, ohne sich selbst zu verleugnen. Und so hat sie mich verlassen und nimmt einen Teil von mir mit.
