About the Book

This volume corrects the relative neglect in Second Language Acquisition studies of the quantitative study of language variation and provides insights into such issues as language transfer, acquisition through exposure, language universals, learner’s age and so forth. These studies bolster the idea that a full account of SLA development (and, hence, a “theory of SLA”) must be built on not only detailed accounts of interlanguage data but also on a wide appeal to factors which govern the psycholinguistic bases of SLA. An important addition to the volume is a comprehensive guide to both the DOS and Macintosh versions of the VARBRUL statistical program used by variationists.

Table of Contents:
1. Preface (by Preston, Dennis R.); 2. Variationist Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition (by Preston, Dennis R.); 3. Factors Affecting the Production of Word-initial Consonants in a Second Language (by Flege, James Emil); 4. Markedness in Second Language Acquisition of Consonant Clusters (by Major, Roy C.); 5. Competing Constraints on Variation in the Speech of Adult Chinese Learners of English (by Bayley, Robert); 6. Tense Marking in the English of Spanish-speaking Adolescents (by Adamson, H.D.); 7. Form-Function Relations in Articles in English Interlanguage (by Young, Richard); 8. Variation in french Interlanguage: A Longitudinal Study of Sociolinguistic Competence (by Regan, Vera); 9. Disentangling Language Acquisition from Language Variation (by Berdan, Robert); 10. Some Notes on the Role of Misperception in Language Learning (by Labov, William); 11. Appendix: VARBRUL Analysis for Second Language Acquisition Research (by Young, Richard); 12. Author Index; 13. Subject Index

Review :
This book should be required reading for graduate students in any research methods course on L2 acquisition; I used it as a course text in a course on interlanguage variation a the 1977 LSA Summer Institute, and I found that several chapters were accessible even to relative beginners in the field.
