Opis

This book examines five central issues of second language acquisition: transfer, staged development, cross-learner systematicity, incompleteness and variability. It is argued that the first four of the five central issues receive a more satisfactory account than has been previously provided through an approach based on universal grammar. The fifth - variability - requires an account based on requirements of language use and language processing.
