Speech Production and Second Language Acquisition by Judit Kormos

Speech Production and Second Language Acquisition by Judit Kormos

The first volume in the cutting-edge series, Cognitive Science and Second Language Acquisition, this book provides a thorough overview of research on second language and bilingual speech production and proposes a new integrative model of how L2 speech is produced.

"One of the excellent aspects of the book are the referencesKormos has certainly done her homework. Among the approximately 400 citations are many European researchers and journals not widely known in the United States."
—PsycCRITIQUES

“The main virtues of this book are that it is extremely thorough and up-to-date in its coverage of production research. It will acquaint the reader with the various models and approaches in the L1 literature, the kinds of studies that have been done, the kinds of methods that have been used, and the issues that remain unresolved. It provides a balanced overview of the psycholinguistic study of production. The discussion of L2 research is very well grounded in this work, offers enormous coverage, and shows how the same kinds of questions that have inspired L1 studies can be extended to the L2 context. The material covered is entirely appropriate for this series in that it certainly does not shy away from the basic psycholinguistic research agenda.”
