Abstract:

The main focus of generative language development research in recentdecades has been the logical problem of language acquisition - how learnersgo beyond the input to acquire complex linguistic knowledge. Thiscollection deals with the complementary issue of the developmental problemof language acquisition: How do learners move from one developmental stageto another and how and why do grammars develop in a certain fashion?Building on considerable previous research, the authors address bothgeneral and specific issues related to paths of development. These issuesare tackled through considering studies of L1 and L2 children and L2 adultslearning a range of languages including Dutch, English, French, German,Greek and Japanese.
