The Acquisition of L2 Phonology is a wide-ranging new collection which focuses on various aspects of the acquisition of an L2 phonological system. The authors are researchers and practitioners from five different countries. The volume has been divided into three major sections. Phonetic Analysis presents five studies of language learners in both naturalistic and formal-educational settings, which illustrate aspects of L2 production and perception. In Phonological Analysis a more abstract and comparative perspective is taken, in order to use recent theories modeling the route of L1/L2 pronunciation and reading ability development to account for observable tendencies in learner behavior. Pedagogical Perspectives consists of four contributions of high practical value, which look at the mastery of native-like or highly intelligible pronunciation as an important component of L2 education.

The question of how morphologically complex words (assign-ment, listen-ed) are represented and processed in the brain has been one of the most hotly debated topics in the cognitive neuroscience of language. Do complex words engage cortical representations and processes equivalent to single lexical objects or are they processed as sequences of separate morpheme-like units? Research on morphological processing has suggested that adults make efficient use of both lexical (i.e., whole word) storage and retrieval, as well as combinatorial computation in processing morphologically complex words. Psycholinguistic studies have demonstrated that processing of complex words can be affected both by properties of the morphemes and the whole words, such as their frequency, transparency, and regularity. Furthermore, this research has been informative about the time-course of complex word recognition and production, and the role of morphological structure in these processes. At the neural level, left-hemisphere inferior frontal and superior temporal areas, and negative-going event-related potentials, have been consistently associated with morphological processing. While most previous research has been done on the recognition of morphologically complex words in adult native speakers, much less is known about neurocognitive processes involved in the on-line production of morphologically complex words, and even less on morphological processing in children and non-native speakers. Moreover, we have limited understanding of how linguistically distinct morphological processes, e.g. inflectional (listen-ed) versus derivational (assign-ment), are handled by the cortical language networks. This e-book gives an up-to-date overview of the questions currently addressed in the field of morphological processing. It highlights the significance of morphological information in language processing, both written and spoken, as assessed by a variety of methods and approaches. It also points to a number of unresolved issues, and provides future directions for research in this key area of cognitive neuroscience of language.

This is the first book on language learner autonomy to combine comprehensive accounts of classroom practice with empirical and case-study research and a wide-ranging engagement with applied linguistic and pedagogical theory. It provides a detailed description of an autonomy classroom in action, focusing on Danish mixed-ability learners of English at lower secondary level, and reports the findings of a longitudinal research project that explored the learning achievement over four years of one class in the same Danish school. It also presents two learner case studies to show that the autonomy classroom responds to the challenges of differentiation and inclusion, and two institutional case studies that illustrate the power of autonomous learning to support the social inclusion of adult refugees and the educational inclusion of immigrant children. The concluding chapter offers some reflections on teacher education for language learner autonomy. Each chapter ends with discussion points and suggestions for further reading.

Nous entendons souvent qu’être en couple avec une personne qui parle une autre langue en favorise l’apprentissage. Mais est-ce vraiment le cas ? Cet ouvrage cherche à comprendre l’influence qu’exerce sur l’appropriation d’une nouvelle langue cette constellation conjugale de plus en plus fréquente, en Suisse comme ailleurs, qu’est le couple « à plusieurs langues ». Adoptant une perspective sociolinguistique sur l’appropriation langagière et une vision socioconstructiviste du développement humain, cet ouvrage articule linguistique de l’acquisition, sociologie et psychosociolinguistique. Destiné à des spécialistes de l’appropriation des langues, à des étudiants ou des lecteurs intéressés par ces questions, cet ouvrage défétichise le couple, considéré ici comme la rencontre de deux subjectivités unies autour d’un projet commun plus que comme un lien amoureux. Il défétichise la langue, comprise comme un répertoire de possibilités expressives forcément plurilingue. Il défétichise l’appropriation langagière, conçue comme un effet collatéral et contextuel de la vie et non comme un but en soi. Il défétichise enfin le récit autobiographique qui, à travers la voix des partenaires des huit couples qui se racontent ici, devient la réflexion d’un soi ancré dans le social, d’un soi qui, non content d’être le simple narrateur de sa vie, en devient aussi l’acteur et le critique.
