This volume is a collection of state-of-the-art papers in generative
studies of second language (L2) acquisition bringing together an
unusually broad range of interests and inquiry. Selected papers report
on controlled experimental studies within specific areas of research
investigating the development of L2 grammars; others formulate
exciting new proposals for methodology and learnability in both first
and second language acquisition. Following an introduction which
argues for new research strategies that focus on the process of
acquisition along with its product, the book is divided into two
sections: Current Perspectives includes compelling new work on the
development of functional categories within a parameter-setting model
of L2 acquisition; the second section, New Directions, introduces
research and discussion on topics which reflect the latest
developments in the field, including syntax-semantics correspondences,
L2 processing research, code-switching from a UG perspective, and
applications of Chomsky's (1995) Minimalist Program to second language
acquisition studies.
