Title: Inquiries in linguistic development
Description: "The focus of this collection is on important themes in L2 acquisition, the nature of grammatical systems developed by language learners in L1 acquisition, third language acquisition, and bilingualism and language attrition.

The chapters present a mix of theoretical contributions, overview studies, and experimental designs exploring various research questions. This book, edited and written by McGill University alumni, is intended as a tribute to Lydia White's contribution to the field of generative second language acquisition.

The authors present current work on language acquisition which further investigates several themes developed by White's research.

Through these state-of-the-art contributions the reader will be able to identify important new directions in which generative language acquisition is developing and expanding."--Jacket.
