Peer reviewedSegalowitz, Norman; Lightbown, Patsy M. – Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, 1999
Discusses issues related to psycholinguistics since second-language acquisition (SLA) research has emerged as a scientific discipline. These issues include the debate about the place of an innate universal grammar in language acquisition, basic cognitive mechanisms underlying SLA, and pedagogical implications of recent developments in the…
