"At long last, here is the much-needed authoritative guide for students and researchers interested in the second language acquisition of grammar and meaning from a linguistic perspective. Its interdisciplinary scope and the comprehensive coverage of acquisition studies across various bilingual populations are truly impressive. It will have pride of place on my bookshelf for many years to come."Professor Holger Hopp, University of Braunschweig – Institute of Technology, Germany
