Manual of Language Acquisition

This manual contains overviews on language acquisition and distinguishes between first- and second-language acquisition. It also deals with Romance languages as foreign languages in the world and with language acquisition in some countries of the Romance-speaking world. This reference work will be helpful for researchers, students, and teachers interested in language acquisition in general and in Romance languages in particular.

Klappentext

The series Manuals of Romance Linguistics (MRL) aims to present a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of Romance linguistics. It will comprise approximately 60 volumes that can either be consulted individually or used as a series of books providing a detailed overall picture of the current state of research in Romance linguistics. A special focus will be placed on the presentation and analysis of the smaller languages, the linguae minores, which the two older reference works of the discipline, Lexikon der Romanistischen Linguistik (198805) and Romanische Sprachgeschichte (200308) did not discuss in detail, as well as on current research trends. A full list of volumes published or to appear shortly can be found under the tab "Volumes". Further volumes in planning: Manuel de linguistique roumaine, edited by Wolfgang Dahmen and Eugen Munteanu, vol. 9 Manual of Galician Linguistics, edited by Xulio Sousa and Ernesto Gonzez Seoane, vol. 19 Manuel des langues crles base franise, edited by Philipp Krer, Katrin Mutz, and Peter Stein Manual of Romance Morphology and Word Formation, edited by Philipp Burdy, Sarah Dess Schmid, and Daniela Marzo Manual of Classification and Typology of the Romance Languages, edited by Matthias Heinz, Lorenzo Filipponio, and Marc-Olivier Hinzelin Manuel de linguistique corse, edited by Stella Retali-Medori Manuel dtymologie lexicale romane, edited by a Buchi Manual of Discourse Markers in Romance, edited by Maj-Britt Mosegaard Hansen and Jacqueline Visconti Manuel de linguistique occitane, edited by Louise Esher and Jean Sibille Manual de lingstica asturiana, edited by Ana Maria Cano Gonzez Manual of Romance Forensic Linguistics, edited by Victoria Guill-Nieto and Dieter Stein Manual of Romance Word Classes, edited by Anna-Maria De Cesare and Giampaolo Salvi

Zusammenfassung

"Das Handbuch kann zusammenfassend als uneingeschränkt gelungener Überblick zur Spracherwerbsforschung mit besonderem Fokus auf der Romania bezeichnet werden."
Judith Visser in: Romanische Forschungen 129 (2017)

"Das Handbuch bietet - wie eingangs dargestellt - zum einen einer breiten Leserschaft einen Überblick über Spracherwerb im Allgemeinen, in der Romania bzw. hinsichtlich der romanischen Sprachen und ihren Varietäten, zum anderen eine zielgerichtete, themenspezifische Lektüre, die für individuelle Interessen gewinnbringend und empfehlenswert ist."
