Cognitive-Functional Approaches to the Study of Japanese as a Second Language
Edited by Kaori Kabata and Kiyoko Toratani
Published by de Gruyter

This innovative and original volume brings together studies that apply cognitive and functional linguistics to the study of the L2 acquisition of Japanese. With each article grounded on the usage-based model and/or conceptual notions such as foregrounding and subjectivity, the volume sheds light on how cognitive and functional linguistics can help us understand aspects of Japanese acquisition that have been neglected by traditionalists.
