Foreign Accent

The Ontogeny and Phylogeny of Second Language Phonology

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Even though second-language learners may master the grammar and vocabulary of the new languages, they almost never achieve a native phonology (accent). Scholars and professionals dealing with second-language learners would agree that this is one of the most persistent challenges they face. Roy Major's Foreign Accent offers comprehensive coverage of the scholarship in this area and lays out the issues specifically for audiences in the second language acquisition and applied linguistics community.
