Table of ContentsReviews"""This is perhaps the most comprehensive and intelligible presentation of current first language acquisition theory within (and extending) a Principles and Parameters approach. the quality of the 39 papers is generally extremely high, and the editing is suburb....there is much in these volumes to interest second language researchers. Issues of learnability, language-specific versus universal proceses, and continuity pervade acquisition studies whether they focus on first or second language acquisition. And for those who wish to catch up on the trends in linguistic theory-driven first language, the very accessibility of these volumes makes them worth the investment....the reader will be rewarded both by a deepened understanding of the theory itself and by some trends and conclusions in this research."" —Studies in Second Language Acquisition ""Since the origins of modern work in generative grammar, theory construction has adopted a framework that may be interpreted as an abstract model of acquisition, and it has been clear that research should proceed in close interaction with investigations of the actual process of language acquisition, each study informing the other. These volumes show how much progress has been made in recent years in turning this hope into a reality. They are an impressive contribution, which give a highly informative picture of the state of contemporary understanding, and should greatly stimulate and advance these interacting inquiries."" —Noam Chomsky Massachusetts Institute of Technology" This is perhaps the most comprehensive and intelligible presentation of current first language acquisition theory within (and extending) a Principles and Parameters approach. the quality of the 39 papers is generally extremely high, and the editing is suburb....there is much in these volumes to interest second language researchers.
