Reviews

This is an impressive collection of serious thought and critical analysis ranging from broad issues and their implications to more specific problems. The papers are firmly grounded in significant previous research and they present good summaries of much recent work as well. I found the topics to be intriguing, the research to be rigorous and valuable to the field, and the findings and analyses outlined in the papers as a whole to represent a perspective that is relevant and useful. This is a significant contribution to the field of second language acquisition studies. -- Julie Bruch, Mesa State College Linguist List 17.2001
