Title: Book: Meaning in the Second Language
Body: From http://www.degruyter.de/cont/fb/sk/detailEn.cfm?id=IS-9783110203226-1 Meaning in the Second Language by Roumyana Slabakova Publisher: de Gruyter Summary: This book reviews recent research on the second language acquisition of meaning with a view of establishing whether there is a critical period for the acquisition of compositional semantics. A modular approach to language architecture is assumed. The book addresses the Critical Period Hypothesis by examining the positive side of language development: it demonstrates which modules of the grammar are easy to acquire and are not subject to age effects. The Bottleneck Hypothesis is proposed, which argues that inflectional morphology and its features present the most formidable challenge, while syntax and phrasal semantics pose less difficulty to learners. The numerous studies reviewed in the book indicate that there is no barrier to ultimate success in the acquisition of phrasal semantics.
