how children and adults acquire Spanish syntax. The first section

L2 developing grammars, with attention to the roles of the first
language and of universal principles.

Volume 2 is devoted to the production, processing, and comprehension
of Spanish by non-native speakers. The first section examines L2
production, looking at both oral and written language. The second
section investigates issues related to L2 processing and comprehension
of written and oral input.
