The Structural Design of Language

By Thomas S. Stroik, Michael T. Putnam

In this book, Stroik and Putnam take on Turing's challenge. They argue that the narrow syntax – the lexicon, the Numeration, and the computational system – must reside, for reasons of conceptual necessity, within the performance systems.

Second dialect acquisition

Fellow LINGUISTS,

I'm writing a book chapter on second dialect acquisition, and was wondering if anyone knows of any research on this topic. I'm especially interested in the acquisition of the standard variety by speakers of nonstandard varieties or lexically related pidgins and
creoles.

I'm already familiar with Bull (1990), Chambers (1992), Craig (1983), sterberg (1961), Stern (1988), and some older, pre-1980 studies.

Please reply directly to me at .
I'll post a summary.

Many thanks.
