This volume addresses salient theoretical issues concerning the
validity of research methods in second-language acquisition, and
provides critical analysis of contextualized versus sentence-level
production approaches. The contributors present their views of
competence versus performance, the nature of language acquisition
data, research design, the relevance of contextualized data
collection and interpretation, and the desirability of a
particularistic nomothetic theoretical paradigm versus more
comprehensive consideration of multiple realities and complex
influencing factors. This book presents varying and antithetical
approaches to the issues, bringing together the thinking and
approaches of leading researchers in langauge acquisition, language
education, and sociolinguistics in an engaging debate of great
currency in the field.
