Second Language Acquisition: Past, Present, and Future.

Gass, Susan M.

Second Language Research, v9 n2 p99-117 Jun 1993

The relationship between second-language acquisition (SLA) and other disciplines is examined, beginning with a review of SLA studies and the broader field of applied linguistics and language pedagogy. It is argued that SLA must be recognized as a field important to linguistics, pedagogy, and psychology. (37 references) (Author/LB)
