Second Language Syntax – A Generative Introduction de R Hawkins

Second Language Syntax – A Generative Introduction

R Hawkins

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 dec 2000

How do second language learners come to know the combinatorial properties of words and phrases -- the syntax - of the languages they are learning?
Do they develop knowledge systematically or randomly?
Can they acquire the same range of syntactic knowledge as native speakers of their target language?
What effects might different kinds of exposure to the second language have on their knowledge?

Adopting the objectives of Chomsky's Principles and Parameters approach to Universal Grammar, Second Language Syntax takes the reader through the main research findings in second language grammatical development. For each area, empirical findings are linked to proposals made by linguists working within the Principles and Parameters framework, with the aim of developing a theory of second language syntax.

Second Language Syntax presupposes that readers have some knowledge of the aims of linguistic enquiry, but does not assume that they are familiar with either research on second language syntax or the Principles and Parameters framework. Each chapter includes a set of exercises to promote assimilation of the material, as well as suggestions for further reading.

Notă biografică

Stephen Hawkins loves the coincidence that one of his heroes, the late great Stephen Hawking, shared a similar name and interests. It's only fitting that Stephen Hawking was known as the Master of Time and Author Stephen Hawkins is a master of Time and Space which is exactly what drumming is all about. Stephen Hawkins strongly believes that all drummers should become their own master of time and space. His motto is "Master the art of leaving space then the things you play in time become great".Stephen was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, UK and has lived in the UK all of his life. By age 20 was working alongside some of the biggest names in British show business-the exact people he aspired to work for as a professional drummer. People such as Paul Daniels, Bobby Davro, Les Dennis, The Three Degrees, Susan Maughan just to name a few. He hopes to teach and inspire a whole new generation of passionate drummers.
