Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition: n/a

This cutting-edge volume describes the implications of Cognitive Linguistics for the study of second language acquisition (SLA). The first two sections identify theoretical and empirical strands of Cognitive Linguistics, presenting them as a coherent whole. The third section discusses the relevance of Cognitive Linguistics to SLA and defines a research agenda linking these fields with implications for language instruction. Its comprehensive range and tutorial-style chapters make this handbook a valuable resource for students and researchers alike. 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.
