Roger W. Brown (1925-1997), Professor of Social Psychology at Harvard University (1962-1994), is acknowledged as the founder of developmental psycholinguistics and as a pioneer in the study of how and why children acquire language. His studies in the 1960s fostered the earliest understanding of how children acquire basic sentence structures in English. He wrote several classic psychology books and trained most of the leading scholars in the field of language acquisition.
