First and Second Language Phonology

This text presents recent developments and theories on phonological acquisition in first and second languages. The contributors represent the leading researchers in child language, psycholinguistics and applied linguistics. By presenting phonology of L1 and L2 in one book, the reader is given a wide view of what is known about normal and disordered phonology and language development. Interlanguage phonology is also explored in children who are learning two languages. This book should be of interest to graduate students in speech language pathology, linguistics and psycholinguistics.
