The Structure of Age: In Search of Barriers to Second Language Acquisition.
Bialystok, Ellen
Second Language Research, v13 n2 p116-37 Apr 1997
Examines evidence offered to support the idea of a sensitive period for second language acquisition. Findings indicate that there is insufficient evidence to accept the claim that mastery of a second language is determined wholly, or even primarily, by maturational factors.
