Spanish Language Acquitision Books from the Collection

The L2 Acquisition of Spanish Subjects by Margaret Quesada
ISBN: 9781614515937
Publication Date: 2015-06-12
There is a long overdue need to address the sharp philosophical and methodological divide between formal/generative and functional/discourse perspectives in contemporary theoretical linguistics and L2 acquisition. Language structure in general, and the use of subjects in particular, is dependent upon multiple syntactic, lexico-semantic, and discourse-pragmatic factors. Therefore, the study of L2 acquisition must be equally multi-faceted. This volume examines data from over twenty years of research in the L2 acquisition of Spanish subjects from several theoretical perspectives, including generative approaches, processing theory, discourse-pragmatics and sociolinguistic-variationist models.

Publication Date: 2013-08-22
Presents assessments and exemplary empirical research on some of the more well-known linguistic and cognitive perspectives to SLA and bilingualism.

ISBN: 9781589011335
