De Gruyter New Directions in Second Language Pragmatics
Book SynopsisNew Directions in Second Language Pragmatics brings together varying perspectives in second language (L2) pragmatics to show both historical developments in the field, while also looking towards the future, including theoretical, empirical, and implementation perspectives. This volume is divided in four sections: teaching and learning speech acts, assessing pragmatic competence, analyzing discourses in digital contexts, and current issues in L2 pragmatics. The chapters focus on various aspects related to the learning, teaching, and assessing of L2 pragmatics and cover a range of learning environments. The authors address current topics in L2 pragmatics such as: speech acts from a discursive perspective; pragmatics instruction in the foreign language classroom and during study abroad; assessment of pragmatic competence; research methods used to collect pragmatics data; pragmatics in computer-mediated contexts; the role of implicit and explicit knowledge; discourse markers as a resource for interaction; and the framework of translingual practice. Taken together, the chapters in this volume foreground innovations and new directions in the field of L2 pragmatics while, at the same time, ground their work in the existing literature. Consequently, this volume both highlights where the field of L2 pragmatics has been and offers cutting-edge insights into where it is going in the future.

De Gruyter Language Development and Developmental Language Disorder
Book SynopsisAcquisition of the native language proceeds in a stage-wise manner for both typically developing (TD) children and children with developmental language disorder (DLD). As shown in TD children learning Dutch and German, the ability to establish contextual cohesion serves as the driving force to proceed from a simple, lexical system to a more complex, functional system. It is argued that precisely this ability is challenged in children with DLD. The present book offers an account of the functional linguistic features fit to achieve contextual cohesion in language production. It provides a rationale for practitioners to develop linguistically founded tools to be used in speech therapy.

Brill Second Language Acquisition of Mandarin Chinese Tones: Beyond First-Language Transfer
Book SynopsisTones are the most challenging aspect of learning Chinese pronunciation for adult learners and traditional research mostly attributes tonal errors to interference from learners’ native languages. In Second Language Acquisition of Mandarin Chinese Tones, Hang Zhang offers a series of cross-linguistic studies to argue that there are factors influencing tone acquisition that extend beyond the transfer of structures from learners’ first languages, and beyond characteristics extracted from Chinese. These factors include universal phonetic and phonological constraints as well as pedagogical issues. By examining non-native Chinese tone productions made by speakers of non-tonal languages (English, Japanese, and Korean), this book brings together theory and practice and uses the theoretical insights to provide concrete suggestions for teachers and learners of Chinese.Trade Review"This book is beyond doubt an excellent source that will surely benefit not only a community of linguists or psycholinguists who are interested in L2 acquisition but also classroom teachers and language learners with not much linguistic background." ~ Mengzhu Yan, Victoria University of Wellington, on Linguistlist (March 2019)Table of ContentsList of Tables List of Figures List of Selected Abbreviations Mandarin Tones 1 Introduction 1.1 Phonetics and Phonology of Mandarin Chinese Tones 1.2 Chinese Tone Variations 1.2.1 The Variants of T3 1.2.2 Other Tone Sandhi Processes 1.3 Intonation in Chinese 1.4 The Acquisition of Mandarin Chinese Tones 1.5 Organization of this Book 2 Three Puzzles in Mandarin L2 Tone Acquisition 2.1 Prosodic Structures of English, Japanese, and Korean 2.2 Puzzles Surrounding the L2 Acquisition of Tones 3 Methodology: Data Collection and Analysis 3.1 Test Materials 3.2 Participants and Recording Procedure 3.3 Assessment of L2 Tones 3.4 Data Analysis 4 Coarticulation Effects in L2 Chinese Tones 4.1 The Nature of Anticipatory Tone Coarticulation 4.2 Research Questions and Hypotheses 4.3 Results 4.4 Discussion 4.5 Conclusion 5 Phonological Universals and the Acquisition Order of Mandarin Tones 5.1 Phonological Background 5.2 Results 5.3 Discussion: An OT Account for the Acquisition of Identical Tone Sequences 5.4 Conclusion 6 Acquisition of the Third Tone 6.1 The Allophones and Sandhi Rules of Tone 3 6.2 The Second Language Acquisition of T3 6.3 Methodology 6.3.1 Stimuli 6.3.2 Subjects and Recording Procedures 6.3.3 Analysis 6.4 Results 6.4.1 The Error Patterns of Half-T3 and Raised-T3 6.4.2 Substitutions Used for Half-T3 and Raised-T3 6.5 Discussion 6.5.1 Theoretical Implications: The Underlying Form of T3 6.5.2 The ‘Half-T3 First’ Method 6.6 Conclusion 7 Teaching Mandarin Chinese Tones 7.1 Pedagogical Implications 7.2 Current Prevailing Teaching Materials 7.3 Sample Exercises References Index

Edinburgh University Press Processes in Third Language Acquisition
Book SynopsisThe first comprehensive case study of how a multilingual learner approaches a new language.Trade ReviewThis volume is a valuable resource for the study of multilingual acquisition. It provides an insight into the different roles and effects of prior languages in L3 acquisition in a proactive multilingual adult learner, the use of language switches and hypothetical word construction as learning strategies, while underlining the significance of perceived crosslinguistic similarity. [...] Finally, the book succeeds in showing that any model of human speech production should proceed from a multilingual perspective, taking into account speakers' different language modes. -- Ron Peek, Birkbeck, University of London. Birkbeck Studies in Applied Linguistics Each of the chapters in this book has has been pivotal in the development of the study of third language acquisition and multilingualism at both the theoretical and methodological levels, which makes it essential reading in the field! This volume is of great value for those in the field of L3 acquisition and multilingualism, since it recapitulates the history of Hammarberg's central proposals at the methodological and conceptual levels. It also brings together a number of articles that may not be easy for the young academic to locate, and offers the research community the complete picture of a longitudinal study that has become a point of reference for new and experienced scholars. -- Patricia Bayona, University of Western Ontario Canadian Journal of Linguistics An extremely engaging book! While I might take a different line with respect to the authors' interpretation of some of the findings, one of the principal virtues of the volume is precisely that it does put before us - contextualized with admirable clarity - a great wealth of findings, about which every reader can then come to his/her own conclusions. Another virtue is the range of areas which the volume visits - from accent to language switching, from help elicitation to attempts at lexical coinages. A third merit is the fact that the book assembles an impressive body of evidence and argumentation relating to one particular, highly fascinating, multilingual case study. For anyone with an interest in L3 acquisition and/or cross-linguistic influence, such a combination is, and deserves to be, an irresistible cocktail. -- David Singleton, Trinity College Dublin Applied Linguistics This volume is a valuable resource for the study of multilingual acquisition.

Taylor & Francis Inc Crosslinguistic Perspectives on Argument
Book SynopsisThis book offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective on argument structure and its role in language acquisition. Drawing on a broad range of crosslinguistic data, this volume shows that languages are much more diverse in their argument structure properties than has been realized.The volume is the outcome of an integrated research project and comprises chapters by both specialists in first language acquisition and field linguists working on a variety of lesser-known languages. The research draws on original fieldwork and on adult data, child data, or both from seventeen languages from eleven different language families. Some chapters offer typological perspectives, examining the basic structures of a given language with language-learnability issues in mind. Other chapters investigate specific problems of language acquisition in one or more languages. Taken as a whole, the volume illustrates how detailed work on crosslinguistic variation is critical to the developmentTable of ContentsI.
