This book presents for the first time the effects of writing systems on language reading and writing and on language awareness, and provides a new platform for discussing bilingualism, biliteracy and writing systems. The approach is interdisciplinary, with contributions not only from applied linguists and psychologists but also corpus linguists, educators and phoneticians. A variety of topics are covered, from handwriting to spelling, word recognition to the mental lexicon, and language textbooks to metalinguistic awareness. Though most of the studies concern adult L2 learners and users, other populations covered include minority children, immersion students and bilingual children. While the emphasis is on English as the L2 writing system, many other writing systems are analysed as L1 or L2: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Gujarati, Indonesian, Irish, Italian and Japanese. Approaches that are represented include contrastive analysis, transfer, poststructuralism, connectionism and corpus analysis. The readership is SLA and bilingualism researchers, students and teachers around the world; language teachers will also find much food for thought.Second language acquisition (Clevedon, England) ;11.Second language acquisitionWritten communicationStudy and teachingLanguage and languagesOrthography and spellingStudy and teachingSecond language acquisition.Written communicationStudy and teaching.Language and languagesOrthography and spellingStudy and teaching.418Cook Vivian1940-169358Bassetti Benedetta1670641MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815771303321Second language writing systems4188903UNINA
