Abstract:
			
The Handbook of Second Language Acquisition presents an integrated
discussion of key, and sometimes controversial, issues in second
language acquisition research.

Discusses the biological and cognitive underpinnings of SLA,
mechanisms, processes, and constraints on SLA, the level of ultimate
attainment, research methods, and the status of SLA as a cognitive
science. Includes contributions from twenty-seven of the world's
leading scholars. Provides an invaluable resource for all students
and scholars of human cognition, including those in linguistics,
psychology, applied linguistics, ESL, foreign languages, and cognitive
science.
