L2 Grammatical Representation and Processing

Rezensionen / Stimmen

A welcome and well-planned contribution to SLA research. Contributions from rising stars and established top names bring valuable insights into how to relate linguistic theory to the L2 classroom. The variety of research questions, methodologies, and range of languages included makes this volume an essential addition to any SLA-focused reading list for researchers, students and practitioners. * Clare Wright, University of Leeds, UK * A timely volume drawing on different approaches in innovative and exciting ways! The contributors do a brilliant job bringing together generative linguistics and theories of processing to give us novel insights on the L2 representation of a range of grammatical features, as well as sociocultural aspects of register use. Impressively, and a rare occurrence in our field, they also draw the implications of their work for pedagogy. * Florence Myles, University of Essex, UK * The focus on L2 French and Spanish in this collection, including psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic and organic grammar treatments, is complemented by pedagogical and pragmatic information. This volume will be of great interest to those striving to improve what they do in the classroom based on sound SLA research. * Linda McManness, Baylor University, USA *
