must explain both properties of linguistic representations (the form and nature of
the grammar) and transition or development (how and why grammars change ...

The Development of Second Language Grammars

A Generative Approach

A collection of papers reflecting the shift away from characterizing second language acquisition as either having, or not having, access to principles and parameters of Universal Grammar, and towards theories of putative L1 influence on the L2 learner.

bilinguals mix and shift from one language to another like an individual driving a

Input Processing and Grammar Instruction in Second Language Acquisition

This book provides an alternative to the "grammar debate" in second language acquisition theory and teaching. Accepting that language acquisition is at least partially input dependent, the author asks how grammatical form is processed in the input by second language learners and is it possible to assist this in ways that help the learner to create richer grammatical intake. He answers these questions and explains why traditional paradigms are not psycholinguistically motivated. Drawing on research from both first and second language acquisition, he outlines a model for input processing in second language acquisition that helps to account for how learners construct grammatical systems. He then uses this model to motivate "processing instruction," a type of grammar instruction in which learners are engaged in making form-meaning connections during particular input activities.

Some might argue that second language acquisition is an independent nonap-
plied discipline (Grass & Schachter, 1989, p. 4), that its goal is to explain how
second languages are learned. More particularly, the goal of second language ...

Leila’s & Kim’s Pre-College Vocabulary in Context & Properly Graded Grammar Workbook-2 Levels One – Six for Japanese-Chinese-South America-Korean-Arab & English Speaking-College Seekers

Pre-college Vocabulary in Context & Properly Graded Grammar Workbook-2 Levels One – Six for Japanese-Chinese-South American- Korean-Arab & English . Speaking-College Seekers

Title: "Leila's And Kim's Pre-college Vocabulary in Context and Graded Grammar Exercises" This Workbook {is a valuable tool put forward for the benefit of aspiring Leila and ambitious Kim and their high school and pre-college peers who would use it to enrich their repertoire of vocabulary and review their English Grammar to help them cope with their post high school and college requirements and to satisfy their search and eagerness to using the language smoothly and with confidence. In fact, in order to respond to Leila's strong desire to learn and Kim's tremendous love of developing language proficiency, this Workbook contains a large number of Vocabulary Exercises totaling more than 200 which are intended to help enrich users by more than 3000 words of common use, most of which are part of the International Word List and carly college textbook items, in addition to the many other items used in the multiple-choice-question distractors. Similarly, there are more than 200 Grammar Exercises of 20 items each. Both the Vocabulary and the Grammar Exercises are supplied with answers at the end of each exercise to facilitate reference instead of having tables appended at the end of the book, which are not usually referred to by many users. A user of the Workbook, however, should only look at the answers once he or she has finished the exercise to compare the answers. The context sentences used in the Workbook are simple and are meant to please Kim and thrill Leila rather than frustrate their efforts or waste their valuable time. The review exercises have not been haphazardly written, but are the result of many years of working with the likes of Leila and Kim here and abroad as well as personal involvement in program development, text and test writing, research and note-taking in order to decide the context in which an item should fit. Finally, whether the user of this Workbook is a high school student, a pre-college or university student, or a job seeker, it is certainly an excellent tool in hand and ‘A Road to College and Career Success' only if the exercises are given the time and the effort required!

An Introduction to the Grammar of English

It has been eight years since "An Introduction to the Grammar of English" was first published. The second edition is completely revised and greatly expanded, especially where texts, example sentences, exercises, and cartoons are concerned. It continues to provide a very lively and clearly written textbook. The book introduces basic concepts of grammar in a format which inspires the reader to use linguistic arguments. The style of the book is engaging and examples from poetry, jokes, and puns illustrate grammatical concepts. The focus is on syntactic analysis and evidence. However, special topic sections contribute sociolinguistic and historical reasons behind prescriptive rules such as the bans on split infinitives, dangling participles, and preposition stranding. The book is written for undergraduate students and structured for a semester-long course. It provides exercises, keys to those exercises, and sample exams. It also includes a comprehensive glossary. A basic website will be kept up at http: //www.public.asu.edu/ gelderen/grammar.htm.
