A Tribute to Clive Perdue

Herausgeber: Watorek, Marzena; Hickmann, Maya; Benazzo, Sandra

This book provides a broad view of second language acquisition, from initial to final stages. It does so within a comparative perspective that addresses results concerning adult and child learners across a variety of languages, in order to assess the relative weight of cognitive and typological determinants during language learning.
