The book's major feature is new longitudinal data from three secondary school students who began an exchange year in Germany with no German knowledge and attained fluency. Their naturalistic acquisition process - with a succession of stages described for the first time in L2 acquisition - is highly similar to that of younger learners. This has important implications for German teaching and for the theory of Universal Grammar and acquisition. Organic Grammar, a variant of generative syntax, is offered as a practical alternative to Chomsky's Minimalism. The analysis focuses on extensive monthly samples of the three students' German development in an input-rich environment. Similar to previous studies, the teenagers build syntactic structure from the bottom up. Two acquired correct word order by the end of the year, the third, who had greater conscious awareness of German grammar, had a divergent route of development, suggesting that language awareness can alter a natural developmental path. The results are addressed in light of recent debates in child-adult differences. 410 0$aStudies on language acquisition ;$v44. 606 $aGerman language$xAcquisition 606 $aLanguage acquisition 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 610 $aGenerative Grammar. 610 $aGerman. 610 $aLanguage Acquisition. 615 0$aGerman language$xAcquisition. 615 0$aLanguage acquisition. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 676 $a430.1/9 686 $aGB 3019$2rvk 700 $aVainikka$b Anne$01712719 701 $aYoung-Scholten$b Martha$01625067 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827851303321 996 $aThe acquisition of German$94105102 997 $aUNINA
