Overview"This volume presents the results of part of the ESF project ""Second Language Acquisition by Adult Immigrants"". The study deals primarily with structure of utterances in learner varieties. The authors have attempted to find general principles which determine the form of utterances from the very beginning to relatively advanced stages. Chapters one and two provide the framework for the study, and the guiding hypotheses are sketched on the basis of a pilot analysis. The empirical part of the study is contained in chapters three to six, in which data are given for the acquisition of, respectively, English (by Punjabi and Italian learners), Dutch (by Turkish and Moroccan learners) and French (by Moroccan and Spanish learners), thus allowing for cross-linguistic comparisons in various ways. For each data-set, the learner's linguistic repertoire is established, and then the utterance patterns recurrent in his/her production, and the constraints these patterns are subject to are discussed. In chapter seven, the general and theoretical implications are covered."
