Linguistic perspectives on second

Klappentext Second language acquisition is one of the fastest growing disciplines within linguistics, yet few works have explored how a second language is acquired and what the second language learner must do mentally to achieve proficiency in another language. The essays in this book, written by scholars in the field of linguistics, provide an incisive analysis of these questions.
