Das Nebeneinander von Dialekt und Standard in der Deutschschweiz bietet sehr interessante Rahmenbedingungen, um den Erwerb von sprachlicher Variation im Zweitsprachkontext genauer zu untersuchen. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt die vorliegende Studie die soziale Bedeutung von Sprachen und Varietäten und ihren Einfluss auf den Aufbau des sprachlichen Repertoires bei erwachsenen Lernenden mit verschiedenen Erstsprachen und mit variablen persönlichen und sozialen Rahmenbedingungen des Spracherwerbs in den Mittelpunkt. Sie untersucht, wie die Zweitsprachbenutzer/-innen mit der vorhandenen Dialekt-Standard-Variation im Input umgehen, inwieweit sie die beiden Codes in ihr Zweitsprachwissen integrieren und welche Haltungen gegenüber Dialekt und Standard sie aus der spezifischen Erwerbssituation heraus entwickeln. Insgesamt gibt die Arbeit zwar besonders Auskunft zum Deutscherwerb im Untersuchungsraum Schweiz, steht aber allgemeiner im Zusammenhang mit Fragen zur Sozioindexikalität von Sprache und Sprachvariation im Kontext des Zweitspracherwerbs.

Dependency is a fundamental concept in the analysis of linguistic systems. The many if-then statements offered in typology and grammar-writing imply a causally real notion of dependency that is central to the claim being made--usually with reference to widely varying timescales and types of processes. But despite the importance of the concept of dependency in our work, its nature is seldom defined or made explicit. This book brings together experts on language, representing descriptive linguistics, language typology, functional/cognitive linguistics, cognitive science, research on gesture and other semiotic systems, developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, and linguistic anthropology to address the following question: What kinds of dependencies exist among language-related systems, and how do we define and explain them in natural, causal terms?

This manual contains overviews on language acquisition and distinguishes between first- and second-language acquisition. It also deals with Romance languages as foreign languages in the world and with language acquisition in some countries of the Romance-speaking world. This reference work will be helpful for researchers, students, and teachers interested in language acquisition in general and in Romance languages in particular.

Roots of language was originally published in 1981 by Karoma Press (Ann Arbor). It was the first work to systematically develop a theory first suggested by Coelho in the late nineteenth century: that the creation of creole languages somehow reflected universal properties of language. The book also proposed that the same set of properties would be found to emerge in normal first-language acquisition and must have emerged in the original evolution of language. These proposals, some of which were elaborated in an article in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (1984), were immediately controversial and gave rise to a great deal of subsequent research in creoles, much of it aimed at rebutting the theory. The book also served to legitimize and stimulate research in language evolution, a topic regarded as off-limits by linguists for over a century. The present edition contains a foreword by the author bringing the theory up to date; a fuller exposition of many of its aspects can be found in the author's most recent work, More than nature needs (Harvard University Press, 2014).
