The Acquisition of French in Multilingual Contexts

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This volume is a very interesting collection of articles on the acquisition of linguistic phenomena in French as (2)L1 and L2. The authors present and discuss new processing and production data by different learner populations in various language combinations and contexts, raising new and challenging issues, both for linguistic and cognitive development. A must-read for every (generative) linguist interested in the bilingual acquisition of French. -- Aafke Hulk, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands This volume is a welcome addition to research on L1 and L2 acquisition of French. It broadens the width of linguistic phenomena under investigation in this language, via stimulating language combinations. The L2 results are particularly relevant to our understanding of crosslinguistic influence in SLA, and they certainly open the door for further exciting work. -- Philippe Prevost, University of Tours, France This volume is an excellent contribution relating (bilingualism and language interface) phenomena to critical questions such as the role of Universal Grammar, transfer, and

the interaction between language acquisition and language change. -- Stephanie Pellet, Wake Forest University, USA * French Review 91.1 * This is a welcome contribution to the existing research on the acquisition of

French. It should be of interest to scholars in various domains including first language

acquisition, second language acquisition and language typology. -- Christina Lindqvist, University of Gothenburg, Sweden * Journal of French Language Studies, Volume 27, Issue 3, November 2017 *
