This book examines key issues in theories of what language is and
what happens in the mind during second language acquisition (SLA),
inspiring readers to think in new and exciting ways about language
learning and teaching. Chapters, written by both established and
rising star scholars, provide cutting-edge insights and new
empirical findings on major topics of formal and cognitive
linguistics, psycholinguistics and second language development, and
offer a coherent, wide-ranging, reader-friendly examination of
learner-internal factors in SLA. The first section of the book
focuses on issues that are pertinent to our understanding of
language acquisition, particularly in relation to syntax. The
second section comprises empirical chapters on syntax, the lexicon,
phonetics/phonology and language production in English and other
languages. These chapters refer to theories and frameworks from
within SLA to enable the reader to grasp the key questions and
issues that are currently relevant. The final section focuses on
research relating to how second language (L2) learners make
transitions from one stage of development to the next; it covers
state-of-the-art psycholinguistic research concerning how L2
acquisition occurs in real time, and includes discussion of models
of L2 development both in and out of the classroom.

This volume bridges the knowledge gap between second language
acquisition researchers and second language pedagogy professionals
in its focus on a topic of mutual interest: input. The
reader-friendly contributions from seasoned researchers including
Stephen Krashen, Bill VanPatten and new voices offer a wide range
of existing and new perspectives on the matter of input. A rare
feature of the book is that it includes extensive coverage by
experts including James Flege and Alene Moyer of the acquisition of
the sound system of a second language, where input seems to matter
most. Those who are just making their acquaintance with second
language acquisition research or updating their knowledge will find
the editors' introductory chapter on past and current issues in the
field particularly useful.
Das Buch prasentiert Forschungsergebnisse zur Wortschatzentwicklung
bei Lernern in Kindertagesstatten, Grundschulen und weiterfuhrenden
Schulen mit bilingualem Unterricht bzw. bilingualer Betreuung. Der
Band verdeutlicht, wie sich bilingualer Unterricht/bilinguale
Betreuung auf das Wissen um Woerter in mehr als einer Sprache
auswirken, und weist gleichzeitig auf Unterschiede und Parallelen
zwischen dem Wortschatzerwerb im Erst- und Zweitspracherwerb hin.
Einige der Kapitel gehen daruber hinaus der Frage nach, welche
Strategien Betreuungs- und Lehrkrafte anwenden sollten, um den
Erwerb lexikalischen Wissens kontinuierlich und unter
Berucksichtigung inhaltlicher Anforderungen effektiv bei
bilingualen Lernern foerdern zu koennen.
