Abstract:

This volume looks at the development of linguistic competence and 
convergence in second language acquisition by analysing the acquisition of 
complex syntax by non-native learners of Spanish. It looks at the knowledge 
that is transferred from the native language and the changes that occur as 
learners become more proficient. It focuses on a particular class of grammatical 
constructions that are central to understanding the transition from simple to 
complex syntax in language development: Control, Raising and Exceptional 
Case Marking structures. Theoretical syntax has dealt extensively with the 
properties of these constructions. As well as a comprehensive review of 
seminal and current theories, this volume presents an empirical study informed 
by these theories that ultimately seeks to bridge the gap between linguistic 
theory and its applications.
