Abstract:

What is language and how can we investigate its acquisition by children or
adults? What perspectives exist from which to view acquisition? What internal
constraints and external factors shape acquisition? What are the properties of
interlanguage systems? This comprehensive 31-chapter handbook is an
authoritative survey of second language acquisition (SLA). Its
multi-perspective synopsis on recent developments in SLA research provides
significant contributions by established experts and widely recognized younger
talent. It covers cutting edge and emerging areas of enquiry not treated
elsewhere in a single handbook, including third language acquisition,
electronic communication, incomplete first language acquisition, alphabetic
literacy and SLA, affect and the brain, discourse and identity. Written to be
accessible to newcomers as well as experienced scholars of SLA, the Handbook
is organised into six thematic sections, each with an editor-written
introduction.
