Abstract:

This is a study of the phonological development of a family of L2 Englishlearners. It is the first full-length book that focuses on a tightly-knitgroup of learners' acquisition of phonology over a longitudinal timeframe,and the first book to study both social and linguistic factors across thattime period.

Jette G. Hansen analyses this data gathered from actual language learnersin terms of recent theory, as well as challenging aspects of currentthinking on the subject of second language acquisition. Acquiring aNon-Native Phonology therefore makes an important and original contributionto the field and provides an in-depth analysis and discussion of thedevelopmental processes in acquiring a non-native sound system which hasnot previously been presented.

The book is aimed at academics interested in second language acquisition,and researchers studying phonology in general.
