Abstract:

How does knowledge of a first or second language develop, and how is that
knowledge used in real time comprehension and production of one or two
languages? Language development and processing are the central topics that
this book explores, initially in terms of first language(s) and then in terms
of additional languages. Human growth and development necessarily involve the
passage of time, implicating this orthogonal factor and leading to the
observation that capacities may vary across the lifespan. Two theoretical
frameworks have historically attributed explanations for knowledge and use of
language, nature versus nurture approaches: the former credits biogenetic
intrinsic characteristics, while the latter ascribes environmental extrinsic
experiences as the causes of developmental change. The evidence examined
throughout this book offers a more nuanced and complex view, eschewing
dichotomy and favoring a hybrid approach that takes into account a range of
internal and external influences.
