Language Acquisition and Learnability
Editor
Stefano Bertolo

Language Acquisition and Learnability is an accessible introduction to
learnability theory and its interactions with linguistic
theories. Working within the Principles and Parameters framework, the
book surveys general concepts from formal learning theory and
complexity theory, together with important findings from developmental
psycholinguistics, historical linguistics and language
processing. Fully integrated, and complete with a large number of
exercises to test readers on their understanding of the material, this
book will become essential reading for students and researchers in
linguistic theory.
