SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Praise for the Third Edition:
“A tour de force. The authors have taken the best text available for an introduc-
tory course in second language acquisition (SLA) and made it even stronger....
The improvements in the third edition are palpable from the very beginning of the
text.... The third edition of
Second Language Acquisition: An Introductory Course
should form the basis for any introduction to SLA, at either the graduate or
undergraduate level.”
—Fred Eckman, Center for the Advanced Study of Language,
University of Maryland
“This text presents a comprehensive overview of SLA in an accessible, highly
readable manner appropriate for readers new to this discipline.... The new edition
includes even more data samples than the previous edition, both integrated into
the main text and in the discussion questions at the end of each chapter.”
—Deborah Pilcher, Gallaudet University
“
Second Language Acquisition: An Introductory Course
presents the most balanced,
grounded, and accessible introduction to a broad field. The field has grown rapidly
since publication of the second edition in 2001, and a new, updated, and expanded
edition is most welcome. [T]he third edition . . . make[s] this breadth of know-
ledge accessible to students with little background in the feeder disciplines
...
Second Language Acquisition
has now become a living standard in our field.”
—Richard Young, Professor of English Linguistics,
University of Wisconsin-Madison
