Reviews
The book proposes sophisticated theoretical solutions to many long-standing problems in second language phonology, and does so by showing the centrality of phonology to many L2 phenomena. It illustrates how a common set of linguistic principles account for diverse phenomena ranging from phonology to morphology and syntax, thereby treating phonology as more than the physics of muscle movement, avoiding a fallacy followed by many previous approaches. This is an essential reading for anyone working on second language acquisition, not just of phonology." -OEner OEzcelik, Indiana University
Phonology is back! Reading this masterful monograph by one of the major influencers in generative SLA has rekindled in delightful detail my passion for L2 phonology. Archibald presents a compelling case for the central position of phonology in the study of second language acquisition, not just in its own right but also in its interfaces with other domains of language." -Martha Young-Scholten, Newcastle University
Backed by extensive empirical evidence and an unparalleled breadth and depth of theoretical expertise, Archibald's unified model of L2 phonology argues deftly for the integral role of phonology in a range of L2 phenomena spanning multiple interfaces, and elucidates precisely how a singular set of principles can account for them." - Jennifer Cabrelli, University of Illinois at Chicago
