Recenzje

'This book will be of enormous interest to anyone interested in how languages come to be represented in the human mind and absolutely indispensable for anyone concerned with nonnative language acquisition. The authors engagingly guide the reader on a journey through the most influential models of the acquisition of (second and) third languages (and beyond) and offer insightful background and commentary on the thinking underlying this vital branch of linguistics and psychology. Because this book is both profoundly scholarly and a joy to read and contemplate, it is destined to inspired much productive further research.' Rex Sprouse, Indiana University
