These two important volumes bring together researchers from different disciplines working on the acquisition of Spanish.

Volume 1: Developing Grammars examines how children and adults acquire Spanish syntax. The first section of Volume 1 looks at the grammar of child Spanish in both monolingual and multilingual settings. The second section investigates the nature of L2 developing grammars, with attention to the roles of the first language and of universal principles.

Volume 2: Production, Processing, and Comprehension is devoted to the production, processing, and comprehension of Spanish by non-native speakers. The first section examines L2 production, looking at both oral and written language. The second section investigates issues related to L2 processing and comprehension of written and oral input.

The introduction is available on-line, as are the contents for Volume 1 and Volume 2.
