Backed by extensive empirical evidence and an unparalleled breadth and depth of theoretical expertise, Archibald's unified model of L2 phonology argues deftly for the integral role of phonology in a range of L2 phenomena spanning multiple interfaces, and elucidates precisely how a singular set of principles can account for them." - Jennifer Cabrelli, University of Illinois at Chicago
