Kluwer is pleased to announce the publication of the following title:

Ecology of Language Acquisition

Edited by: Jonathan Leather
	 University of Amsterdam, Netherlands

	 University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
 

While most research on language acquisition continues to consider the
individual primarily in closed-system terms, Ecology of Language
Acquisition emphasizes the emergence of linguistic development through
children's and learners' interactions with their environment -
spatial, social, cultural, educational, and so on - bringing to light
commonalities between primary language development, child and adult
second-language learning, and language acquisition by robots. Such a
situated, context-responsive perspective on acquisition is able to
interrelate insights from a variety of paradigms and disciplines while
avoiding unjustifiable appeals to normativity. The theoretical and
empirical studies presented here challenge a number of dominant ideas
in language acquisition theory and mark an important new research
orientati on. This work should be of interest to language acquisition
researchers and professionals in a wide range of specialisms.
