Abstract	This book examines key issues in theories of what language is and what happens in the mind during second language acquisition (SLA), inspiring readers to think in new and exciting ways about language learning and teaching. Chapters, written by both established and rising star scholars, provide cutting-edge insights and new empirical findings on major topics of formal and cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and second language development, and offer a coherent, wide-ranging, reader-friendly examination of learner-internal factors in SLA. The first section of the book focuses on issues that are pertinent to our understanding of language acquisition, particularly in relation to syntax. The second section comprises empirical chapters on syntax, the lexicon, phonetics/phonology and language production in English and other languages. These chapters refer to theories and frameworks from within SLA to enable the reader to grasp the key questions and issues that are currently relevant. The final section focuses on research relating to how second language (L2) learners make transitions from one stage of development to the next; it covers state-of-the-art psycholinguistic research concerning how L2 acquisition occurs in real time, and includes discussion of models of L2 development both in and out of the classroom. Following the Introduction by Clare Wright, Martha Young-Scholten and Thorsten Piske, this book contains three parts and 11 chapters. Part 1, Language and Mind, contains: (1)What Is Grammar? A Universal Grammar Approach (Andrew Caink); (2) Syntax and Acquisition: The Emergentist Story (William O'Grady); (3) Poverty of the Stimulus and Language Acquisition: From Ancient Philosophy to Neuroscience (Kook-Hee Gil, Heather Marsden and George Tsoulas); and (4) Language Evolution and the Nature of the Human Faculty for Language (Andrew Feeney). Part 2, Properties of Interlanguage Grammars, contains: (5) The Mystery of the Missing Inflections (Walid Kahoul, Anne Vainikka and Martha Young-Scholten); (6) The Second Language Lexicon (Vivienne Rogers, David Playfoot and James Milton); (7) Foreign Accent in a Second Language: Individual Differences in Perception (Joan Carles Mora and Elena Safronova); and (8) A Case Study of Extreme Phonetic Attrition (Esther de Leeuw, Aurela Tusha, Hui Zhao, Kyle Helke and Alice Greenfield). Part 3, Transitions in Acquisition, contains: (9) Using Psycholinguistic Techniques in a Second Language Teaching Setting (Theodoros Marinis and Ian Cunnings); (10) Research in Memory and Processing in Second Language Acquisition (Clare Wright); and (11) Processability Theory: Architecture and Application (Jörg-U. Keßler, Anke Lenzing and Anja Plesser). (ERIC).
