Sommario/riassunto

How do people learn nonnative languages? Is there one part or function of our brains solely dedicated to language processing, or do we apply our general information-processing abilities when learning a new language?

Clearly organized into four distinct but integrated parts, Mind and Context in Adult Second Language Acquisition first
