Understanding Development and Disorder in Cantonese using Language Sample Analysis brings together 20 years of research on typical development and Development Language Disorder (DLD) in Cantonese.
This book begins with a succinct overview of Cantonese, which is a popular variety of Chinese, a Sino-Tibetan language.
