Reviews

Simon Williams, University of Sussex, UK:

Compared to more substantial anthologies on the market, this collection in affordable, thought-provoking and topical, earning its place on personal bookshelves as much as within institutional libraries.

Marianne Gullberg, Lund University, Sweden:

To improve our understanding of the role and nature of crosslinguistic influence remains a key task for research on SLA and bilingualism studies. This exciting volume presents new perspectives on this issue by leading scholars in the field, covering a wide range of topics, methods, and theoretical positions. It will be of interest to researchers, teachers and students alike.

The best minds working on crosslinguistic influence are gathered in this collection. The result is a fascinating empirical and intellectual journey of this field that all second language acquisition and bilingualism researchers must read!
