Comparative Perspectives on Language Acquisition. A Tribute to Clive Perdue. Ed. by Marzena Watorek (Universite Paris 8), Sandra Benazzo (University Lille III) and Maya Hickmann (CNRS), Bristol, Multilingual Matters, 2011. 644 p.

 

This volume aims to provide a broad view of second language acquisition, from initial to fi nal stages. It does this within a comparative perspective that addresses results concerning adult and child learners across a variety of source and target languages, in order to assess the relative weight of cognitive and typological determinants during language learning.
