Such a situated, context-responsive perspective on acquisition is able to interrelate insights from a variety of paradigms and disciplines while avoiding unjustifiable appeals to normativity. The theoretical and empirical studies presented here challenge a number of dominant ideas in language acquisition theory and mark an important new research orientation. This work should be of interest to language acquisition researchers and professionals in a wide range of specialisms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45283120021655,"sku":"9781402010170","price":7267.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781402010170.webp?v=1769304136","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ecology-of-language-acquisition-9781402010170","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
