Reihe: Second Language Acquisition

This book presents a comprehensive study of the starting point of SLA. With its focus on the language input that learners receive and what they do with this input, the study sheds light on questions, such as what knowledge is brought to the acquisition process and how learners use this knowledge to process new linguistic information.
