Table of ContentsReviewsRast's clearly written exploration of input variables illuminates the nature of word and sentence repetition and word- and sentence-translation tasks for learners given minimal l 2 exposure. This work will undoubtedly inspire further studies of first exposure. Susanne Carroll, University of CalgaryThe core matter of this book is central to all theories of acquisition: it explores the relationship between input, intake, and l 2 acquisition at the initial state of learning. It will be of top interest to all concerned with the nature of early l 2 acquisition.Marianne Gullberg, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, NijmegenRast's highly original study charts the first few hours of l 2 acquisition in both comprehension and production, providing a richer and more complex view of the earliest stages of acquisition than anything hitherto available. Essential reading for acquisitionists!Clive Perdue, Structures formelles du langage, CNRS & Universite Paris 8Rast's book answers the call for research on the initial stages of SLA while distinguishing itself from previous studies in which artificial languages were used. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the initial stages of SLA. On a theoretical level, this work is relevant and timely given the detailed discussions of intake, saliency and frequency.Studies in Second Language Acquisition 5th August 2008 Eve Zyzik University of California, Santa Cruz Author InformationRebekah Rast teaches English and Linguistics at The American University of Paris.
