STUDIES ON LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
This series will focus on both first language acquisition and second/
foreign language learning. It will include studies on language acqui- sition in educational settings, first/second/foreign language loss, and early bilingualism. High quality dissertations and other individual works will be considered for publication, and also collections of papers from international workshops and conferences. The primary goal of the series is to draw international attention to current research in The Netherlands on language acquisition.
