It includes original research about the acquisition (L1, bilingualism) and acquisition/ learning (L2 or L3) of dialects of Brazilian and European Portuguese. In an effort to maximize volume cohesion, the emphasis has been on contributions that present studies exploring both empirical/experimental and theoretical aspects of the acquisition of syntax, and its interfaces with morphology, with semantics/pragmatics, and with language change. Within the generative paradigm alone there are various volumes on the acquisition of other languages, but there are no volumes currently in print focusing on the acquisition of Portuguese. We believe that it is time for such a volume, considering among other factors that Portuguese is the second most widely spoken Romance language (second only to Spanish), and the seventh most widely spoken language in the world. In addition, the significant changes that have taken place between Brazilian and European Portuguese especially since the 19th century make the inquiry into the acquisition of the different dialects a source for very productive insights about the connections between linguistic theory, language acquisition and language change. Finally, having a collection of high quality articles in one place pays homage to the importance for linguistic research of investigations into the acquisition of the Portuguese language. 410 0$aStudies on language acquisition ;$v35. 606 $aSecond language acquisition$vCase studies 606 $aBilingualism$vCase studies 606 $aPortuguese language$xAcquisition$vCase studies 606 $aPortuguese language$xAbility testing$vCase studies 606 $aLinguistic change$vCase studies 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$vCase studies 606 $aMinimalist theory (Linguistics) 610 $aLanguage Teaching. 610 $aRomance Languages. 610 $aSecond Language Acquisition. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition 615 0$aBilingualism 615 0$aPortuguese language$xAcquisition 615 0$aPortuguese language$xAbility testing 615 0$aLinguistic change 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general 615 0$aMinimalist theory (Linguistics) 676 $a401/.93 686 $aER 925$2rvk 701 $aPires$b Acrisio$01482755 701 $aRothman$b Jason$01523078 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778301603321 996 $aMinimalist inquiries into child and adult language acquisition$93832656 997 $aUNINA
