Description: "...provides readers with excellent critical coverage of current literature in the field. The book uses three influential theories&#x2014;relevance theory, dynamic processing theory, and usage-based theory to address nearly sixty issues that have been missed or ignored in current language acquisition books. In order to do this, it takes into account rational evidence in conjunction with the most influential philosophical view of constructionism."--Publisher description.
