This book presents an analysis of the difficulties faced by native speakers of English in the learning of Romance languages and in so doing proposes a comprehensive model of the acquisition of tense-aspect marking. While L1 speakers of English may quickly learn to identify and, to some extent, use the Spanish perfective and imperfective verb endings, the L2 representation of tense-aspect distinctions among both beginning and advanced learners requires a comprehensive multidimensional analysis.

Listening to Spoken English

Gillian Brown’s first edition was a pioneering work. She showed that the implied natural development of listening competence from speaking competence was not warranted, partly because of the lack of identity between the slow formal delivery of the pronunciation drill and the wide range of pronunciation styles encountered by the foreign listener to native speakers, and partly because the emphasis on mastery of the phonological code (whether segmental sounds or tonal contours) had been at the expense of relating auditory signals to the message structure of the discourse.

Multilingual Lexical Recognition in the Mental Lexicon of Third Language Users (Second Language Learning and Teaching)

The monograph constitutes an attempt to demonstrate that trilinguals should be considered as learners and speakers in their own right as opposed to L2 learners with a view to enumerating consequences this would bring to third or additional language teaching. Its theoretical part offers an insight into the structure of the multilingual mental lexicon which is a product of the interplay of a whole array of cross-linguistic factors in the minds of multilingual speakers. The empirical part reports the findings of an empirical study which aimed to investigate connections which are formed between multiple languages in a multilingual mind.

This book is intended for anyone whose job involves writing formal documentation. It is aimed at non-native speakers of English, but should also be of use for native speakers who have no training in technical writing.
