Abstract:

The issue of high-level language proficiency in other than monolingual
contexts can be approached from a variety of perspectives, including
linguistic/structural; psycholinguistic/cognitive and
sociolinguistic/societal. Bringing together a team of experts, this volume
takes a novel empirical approach to the subject combined with an up-to-date
understanding of these research areas, to answer two important research
questions in the field of second language acquisition: what conditions allow
learners to attain an outstanding level of proficiency in a second language,
and what factors still prevent them from becoming entirely like first language
speakers. Looking at a range of European languages including English, French,
Italian, Spanish and Swedish, it provides important insights into second
language use at the highest levels as well as in high-proficient mixed
language use in multicultural settings. A useful tool for both language
teaching and language teacher training, it provides a solid grounding for
further study in this important area of research.

Introduction: high-level proficiency and the concept of nativelikeness in
second language and multilingual research practice Kenneth Hyltenstam, Inge
Bartning and Lars Fant; 1. Age effects on language acquisition, retention and
loss – key hypotheses and findings Niclas Abrahamsson, Emanuel Bylund and
Kenneth Hyltenstam; 2. The last barriers in high-level L2 speech: morphosyntax

interaction in highly proficient L2 users Lars Fant; 4. Formulaic language in
advanced long-residency L2 speakers Britt Erman, Fanny Forsberg Lundell and
Margareta Lewis; 5. Developing lexical complexity in oral production:
limitations and possibilities of the advanced L2 learner Camilla Bardel and
Anna Gudmundson; 6. Reading comprehension in advanced L2 readers Philip Shaw
and Alan McMillion; 7. Polyglotism – a synergy of abilities and
predispositions Kenneth Hyltenstam; 8. What's the target? A folk linguistic
