«Into the Mother Tongue» is a linguistic study by Clare Painter, published by Frances Pinter Publishers Ltd in hardcover (250 pages, in English).
Clare Painter documents how a child learns to use their mother tongue and bases the analysis on real speech data. She examines language acquisition from M.A.K. Halliday's systemic theory and offers a critique of studies on linguistic development since the 1960s, with commented examples that illustrate the method.
First edition. The work is part of the Open Linguistics Series collection.
Aimed at university students and linguistics researchers, especially those studying child language acquisition.
