Review
This book is a must for all interested in SLA, multilingualism and language learning in general. It offers a well-composed selection of thought-provocative perspectives stemming from neuro- and psycholinguistic studies focusing on the second language learner. The various scholars study a wide range of topics in two promising areas of research and thereby give evidence of the multifaceted nature of methodologies used in modern linguistics. This source will certainly open up new research avenues in the field. Ulrike Jessner, Universitat Innsbruck, Austria.
Neurolinguistic and Psycholinguistic Perspectives on SLA is a collection of twelve chapters, reporting on research results and presenting theoretical insights into the processes of language acquisition. The first part outlines the neurobiological processes which assist formation of additional language in the brain, while the second part offers psycholinguistic modelling of a number of components of second language competence.
Janusz Arabski and Adam Wojtaszek both work at the University of Silesia, Poland. Their research interests include psycholinguistics, language acquisition and linguistic pragmatics. They have invited twelve researchers and practitioners in neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics to contribute papers reporting on their recent studies related to the processes of language acquisition. The editors and the contributing authors are active members of many scientific committees and organizations devoted to the investigation of language acquisition processes, they regularly participate in many conferences and publish extensively. The author list comprises experienced scholars as well as young researchers.
