Abstract:

To understand the nature of language learning, the factors that influence
it, and the mechanisms that govern it, it is crucial to study the very
earliest stages of language learning. This volume provides a state-of-the
art overview of what we know about the cognitive and neurobiological
aspects of the adult capacity for language learning.

It brings together studies from several fields that examine learning from
multiple perspectives using various methods. The articles examine learning
after anything from a few minutes to months of language exposure; they
target the learning of both artificial and natural languages, involve both
explicit and implicit learning, and cover linguistic domains ranging from
phonology and semantics to morphosyntax. The findings will inform and
extend further studies of language learning in multiple disciplines.
