The  studies are designed to investigate the acquisition of English stress  patterns (via both production and perception tasks) by adult speakers  of Polish and Hungarian. Archibald argues that interlanguage grammars  can be understood as a mix of L1 transfer and the effects of Universal  Grammar. Metrical parameters related to such things as  quantity--sensitivity, extrametricality, and word--tree dominance  determine the structure of the interlanguage. The author reports that  the subjects are remarkably successful at acquiring English stress and  do not appear to violate proposed universals of metrical  phonology.\u003cbr\u003e  This book is one of the few attempts to investigate the acquisition of  L2 phonology within a UG framework. Empirical support is provided for  the parametric model to an extent uncommon in most syntactic  studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792324867\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-2056-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 202\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378896789644,"sku":"9780792324867","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792324867.jpg?v=1777981132","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792324867","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
