Title: Book: Second Language Competence: The Acquisition of Complex Syntax in Spanish
Body: From http://www.c-s-p.org/Flyers/Second-Language-Competence--The-Acquisition-of-Complex-Syntax-in-Spanish1-4438-2701-0.htm Second Language Competence: The Acquisition of Complex Syntax in Spanish Author: Rocío Pérez Tattam Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Description: This volume looks at the development of linguistic competence and convergence in second language acquisition by analysing the acquisition of complex syntax by non-native learners of Spanish. It looks at the knowledge that is transferred from the native language and the changes that occur as learners become more proficient. It focuses on a particular class of grammatical constructions that are central to understanding the transition from simple to complex syntax in language development: Control, Raising and Exceptional Case Marking structures. Theoretical syntax has dealt extensively with the properties of these constructions. As well as a comprehensive review of seminal and current theories, this volume presents an empirical study informed by these theories that ultimately seeks to bridge the gap between linguistic theory and its applications.

Title: Book: Language Education Today: Between Theory and Practice
Body: From http://www.c-s-p.org/Flyers/Language-Education-Today--Between-Theory-and-Practice1-4438-1641-8.htm Language Education Today: Between Theory and Practice Editor: Georgeta Raţă Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Description: Language Education Today: Between Theory and Practice is a collection of essays that appeal to teachers of modern languages (almost exclusively English) regardless of the level of instruction. The essays deal with three main aspects of the opposition Linguistic Identity vs. Multilingualism: language education (mother tongue – Turkish, Kurdish, and Serbian; contact linguistics – the impact of Slavic and of German on modern Romanian; the opposition L1 vs. L2 – Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Serbian vs. English; and contrastive studies – German and Macedonian); English language teaching and learning (English as a Foreign or Second Language taught to Serbian and Ruthenian students; English for Specific Purposes – Business English, Information Technology English, the English of hotel terminology, and the English of business media taught to Romanian students; English language teaching and assessing methods to Thai, Italian, Malaysian, and Croatian students; and the profile of the language teacher in the universities of the F.Y.R. of Macedonia and of Romania); and linguistic issues (with focus on some English word histories and on some English modal verbs, on French spelling and on some French verbs of animal communication, and on the Latin Plesiosauria Nomenclature).

Title: Book: Language Acquisition across Linguistic and Cognitive Systems
Body: From http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/t_bookview.cgi?bookid=LALD%2052 Language Acquisition across Linguistic and Cognitive Systems Edited by Michèle Kail and Maya Hickmann Published by the John Benjamins Publishing Company Summary: How and why do all children learn language? Why do some have difficulties while others are early language learners? What are the consequences of early bilingualism? Is it possible to reach native-like competence in a foreign language? Although we still cannot fully answer these questions, research during the last two decades has begun to solve some pieces of the puzzle. This book proposes an interdisciplinary collection of writings from some of the best specialists across several fields in cognitive science, offering a wide sample of recent advances in the study of first language acquisition, bilingualism, second language acquisition, and disorders of oral language. It is addressed to all researchers and students interested in language acquisition, as well as to teachers, clinicians and parents, who will find therein many new findings and varied methodological approaches, as well as challenging questions that are still debated and in need of further research.
