Reviews
Lalleman's opener is a ramblimg state-of-the-art-in SLA, coping with the difficult task of compression; this is followed by a neat and tidy summary of the history of tranfer with respect to the acquisition of grammar by Sharwood Smith - I Particulary enjoyed his apocryphal dialogue between a Ladonian, a Dulayo-Burtian, and a Selinkerian on the interpretation of 'No is true'. Eric Kellerman in Studies in Second Language Acquisition, Cambridge, March 1999
