Description
If language is many things, then so is its acquisition. It is therefore a curious fact that the study of second language acquisition (SLA) has historically been dominated by a single broad approach-that which goes by the name of “cognitive.” From this perspective, language may be a “social semiotic,” but above all it is a cognitive product. Its development is therefore first and foremost a cognitive process.
