Extending Word Knowledge Within Word Families Epilogue - New Horizons ReferencesReviewsThis book is a valuable contribution to SLA research. Apart from the obvious target of the book, SLA researchers and teachers anywhere in the world, it will be of particular interest to the Japanese community and to Westerners interested in Japanese language and culture. It is not easy to write a book appealing to audiences as disparate as this, but Daulton has managed to do this very well. He writes clearly and lucidly and makes good use of his teaching experience in Japan. Hakan Ringbom, Emeritus Professor of English, Abo Akademi University Author InformationFrank E.
