This book examines the topic of communication strategies, the ways
in which people seek to express themselves or understand what
someone else is saying or writing. Typically, the term has referred
to the strategies that non-native speakers use to address the
linguistic and pragmatic problems encountered in interactions with
native and non-native speakers of the language in question. Studies
adopting a psycholinguistic perspective are well represented and
updated in this volume. Other chapters re-examine communication
strategies from a sociolinguistic perspective, exploring the
strategies non-native speakers and their conversational partners
use to create shared meanings in ongoing discourse. These studies
reveal how communication strategies can serve to construct
participants' identities and social relationships. Finally, the
book incorporates a number of chapters which cover strategy-like
behaviour in other related areas, such as language pathology, child
bilingualism, normal native adult interaction, and mother tongue
education. These studies add fresh dimensions to the study of
communication strategies, showing how the concept can usefully be
extended beyond the realm of second language acquisition and use,
and pointing out the commonalities in many domains of language
behaviour.

Language acquisition is a human endeavor par excellence. As
children, all human beings learn to understand and speak at least
one language: their mother tongue. It is a process that seems to
take place without any obvious effort. Second language learning,
particularly among adults, causes more difficulty. The purpose of
this series is to compile a collection of high-quality monographs
on language acquisition. The series serves the needs of everyone
who wants to know more about the problem of language acquisition in
general and/or about language acquisition in specific contexts.
