Language Acquisition Beyond Parameters

Anahí Alba de la Fuente, Elena Valenzuela, Cristina Martínez-Sanz

The chapters of this volume take different approaches to explore language acquisition processes in various populations (monolingual and bilingual first language acquisition, L2 acquisition) and address issues on areas such as as syntax, morphology, pragmatics, language processing and interface phenomena. This volume intends to pay homage to Juana M. Liceras' fundamental and enduring contributions to the field of Spanish Second Language Acquisition (SLA). All the chapters of the volume are linked to or inspired by Juana's extensive body of work, and, like Juana's research, they all stand at the crossroads of formal and experimental linguistics. Together, the studies presented in this volume are a reflection of Juana's impact both as a mentor and as a collaborative researcher while at the same time showcasing current trends and new directions in the field of generative SLA.
