Review:

'In my estimation, the editor of this collection has identified a very worthwhile and above all timely topic - how social and psychological perspectives on second language acquisition may be synthesized to provide a rationale for a new field of enquiry. The contributors he has enlisted include a nice mix of very well known writers and up-and-coming researchers.' * Numa Marker, Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign *
