Includes bibliographies and index.
1 Second Language Acquisition Facit Saltus ('Takes a Leap'); 2 Discontinuity as Chunks Feedinto Grammar; 3 Discontinuity in the Maturing and in the Adapting Brain; 4 Discontinuity and the Neurocognition of Second Language; 5 Statistical Learning of a Second Language; 6 Parts of L2 Grammar That Resist Statistical Learning; Conclusions; References; Index
With a particular focus on the morphosyntactic features of second language, this book discusses the idea that language acquisition is a discontinuous and ''quantized'' process and thus that some items might be learned twice, statistically and grammatically. It argues that the switch from one way of learning to another is statistically-driven and grammatically motivated. The volume brings together and discusses insights and evidence from learner corpora analysis and electrophysiological data in an attempt to provide the reader with a unified outlook and it suggests a new, developmentally-orient.
