Using Chomsky's minimalist program as a framework, this volume
explores the role of formal (or functional) features in current
descriptions and accounts of language acquistion. In engaging,
up-to-date articles, distinguished experts examine the role of
features in current versions of generative grammar and in
learnibility theory as it relates to native, non-native, and
impaired acquisition.
This edited volume dealing with formal features in Second Language
Acquisition is defined within current generative grammatical
theory, such as the Principles and Parameters Theory and the
Minimalist Program. Formal features are essential to any account of
language acquisiton because they are basic components of lexical
and functional categories. This is a subject of much current
research as evidenced by the number of published articles in
journals and in conference proceedings. The papers address the role
of features in the current versions of generative grammar and
explore the role of features for learnability theory as it relates
to native and non-native acquisition. To our knowledge, the volume
represents the first scholarly contribution specifically devoted to
features in language acquisition.
