Linguistic Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition. Susan M. Gass
1652 руб
The paperback edition is a collection of original essays that approaches second language acquisition from a linguistic rather than a sociological, psychological, or purely pedagogical perspective. The author shows how similarities and differences between languages can influence grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation acquisition. However, all authors agree on the fundamental importance of linguistic theory in the study of second language acquisition. A wide range of viewpoints and approaches is represented. The essays in this book provide an incisive analysis of these questions. Few works have explored in depth how a second language is acquired and what the second language learner must do mentally to achieve proficiency in another language.
