The book focuses on one aspect of foreign language acquisition that
has not received much attention, that of the effect of bilingualism
in the oral production of the English language learners. Two
research areas have tackled this issue separately. On the one hand,
third language acquisition researchers have analysed bilingualism
effects in the acquisition of a third language. On the other hand,
studies in interlanguage pragmatics have taken into account
variables affecting the use of request acts by second language
learners of English. The two research areas are connected in this
volume, as it deals with bilingualism effects in the pragmatic
production and awareness of third language learners of English. The
first part of the book includes a theoretical description of
research conducted in the areas of third language acquisition and
interlanguage pragmatics, and the second part presents a detailed
description of the empirical study carried out in a multilingual
speech community.
