It explores how learners in their interlanguage progress from the total absence to the presence of a case system. This development is characterized by an evolvement from marking the argument's position to marking the argument's actual function. Theoretically couched within Processability Theory, the book deals with the feature unification and the mapping processes involved in case marking, and critically examines previous findings on German case acquisition. Empirically, the book consists of longi 410 0$aProcessability Approaches to Language Acquisition Research & Teaching 606 $aGerman language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers 606 $aGerman language$xCase 606 $aGerman language$xSyntax 606 $aGerman language$xSemantics 606 $aLanguage acquisition 606 $aGerman language$xGrammar$xStudy and teaching 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGerman language$xStudy and teaching$xForeign speakers. 615 0$aGerman language$xCase. 615 0$aGerman language$xSyntax. 615 0$aGerman language$xSemantics. 615 0$aLanguage acquisition. 615 0$aGerman language$xGrammar$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a438.2/421 700 $aBaten$b Kristof$0983102 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463115703321 996 $aThe acquisition of the German case system by foreign language learners$92243856 997 $aUNINA
