Speech Production and Second Language Acquisition
The Cognitive Science and Second Language Acquisition (CSSLA) series is designed to provide accessible and comprehensive coverage of the links between basic concepts and findings in cognitive science (CS) and second language acquisition (SLA) in a systematic way. Taken together, books in the series should combine to provide a comprehensive overview of the conceptual and methodological intersects between these two fields. This means the books in the series can be read alone, or (more profitably) in combination. The field of SLA is related to, but distinct from, linguistics, applied linguistics, cognitive psychology, and education. However, although a great many published book series address the link between SLA and educational concerns, SLA and linguistics, and SLA and applied linguistics, currently no series exists that explores the relationship between SLA and cognitive science. Research findings and theoretical constructs from cognitive science have become increasingly influential on SLA research in recent years. Consequently, there is great reason to think that future SLA research, and research into its educational applications, will be increasingly influenced by concerns addressed in CS and its subdisciplines. The books in the CSSLA series are intended to facilitate this interdisciplinary understanding, and are grouped into four domains: (1) Knowledge Representation, (2) Cognitive Processing, (3) Language Development, and (4) Individual Differences. Each book in the series is composed of two sections. In the first section authors attempt to make conceptual and operational issues in each area clear, and then summarize existing research findings.In the second section, authors point to potential future research concerning them of relevance to studies of SLA. Each section concludes with an annotated bibliography of important references, intended to orient interested readers to primary sources in the areas covered.
