Great Britain: Multilingual Matters, 2009. — 312 pages. (Second Language Acquisition series)
This series brings together titles dealing with a variety of aspects of language acquisition
and processing in situations where a language or languages other than the native
language is involved. Second language is thus interpreted in its broadest possible
sense. The volumes included in the series all offer in their different ways, on the one
hand, exposition and discussion of empirical findings and, on the other, some degree
of theoretical reflection. In this latter connection, no particular theoretical stance is
privileged in the series; nor is any relevant perspective – sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic,
neurolinguistic, etc. – deemed out of place. The intended readership of the series
includes final-year undergraduates working on second language acquisition projects,
postgraduate students involved in second language acquisition research, and
researchers and teachers in general whose interests include a second language
acquisition component.
