Description
The vast majority of work in theoretical linguistics from a generative perspective is based on first language acquisition and performance. The vast majority of work on second language acquisition is carried out by scholars and educators working within approaches other than that of generative linguistics. In this volume, this gap is bridged as leading generative linguists apply their intellectual and disciplinary skills to issues in second language acquisition. The results will be of interest to all those who study second language acquisition, regardless of their theoretical perspective, and all generative linguists, regardless of the topics on which they work.
Reviews / Votes
"...the chapters in the book are clearly written, providing the reader with both basic notions of the field and results of recently performed research. The volume updates us with recent ideas about the deep linguistic basis of L2 acquisition."-The Phonetician
