Full Description
This volume provides a state-of-the art overview of what we know about the cognitive and neurobiological aspects of the adult capacity for language learning.
Brings together studies from several fields that examine learning from multiple perspectives using various methods
Covers linguistic domains ranging from phonology and semantics to morphosyntax
Will inform and extend further studies of language learning in multiple disciplines
