| Summary |
"Cognitive Linguistics (Cl) is an approach to the study of language informed by both linguistics and psychology. It describes how language interfaces with cognition, and how it adapts in the course of language usage, phylogeneticallv in language evolution, ontogenetically in language acquisition, and moment-to-moment in situated, on-line language processing and performance. Second language Acquisition (SLA) involves the study of the cognitive representations and mechanisms of second language processing, their time-course of acquisition, and, where possible and feasible, their relevance to instruction, The Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics and Second language Acquisition brings these two areas of theory and research together."--BOOK JACKET |
