Abstract:

This book examines key issues in theories of what language is and what happens
in the mind during second language acquisition (SLA), inspiring readers to
think in new and exciting ways about language learning and teaching. Chapters,
written by both established and rising star scholars, provide cutting-edge
insights and new empirical findings on major topics of formal and cognitive
linguistics, psycholinguistics and second language development, and offer a
coherent, wide-ranging, reader-friendly examination of learner-internal
factors in SLA. The first section of the book focuses on issues that are
pertinent to our understanding of language acquisition, particularly in
relation to syntax. The second section comprises empirical chapters on syntax,
the lexicon, phonetics/phonology and language production in English and other
languages. These chapters refer to theories and frameworks from within SLA to
enable the reader to grasp the key questions and issues that are currently
relevant. The final section focuses on research relating to how second
language (L2) learners make transitions from one stage of development to the
next; it covers state-of-the-art psycholinguistic research concerning how L2
acquisition occurs in real time, and includes discussion of models of L2
development both in and out of the classroom.
