Eva Alcón Soler, Alicia Martínez-Flor (Series Editor: Professor David Singleton) Investigating Pragmatics in Foreign Language Learning, Teaching and Testing

Great Britain: Multilingual Matters, 2008. — 266 pages. (Second Language Acquisition series)This series brings together titles dealing with a variety of aspects of language
acquisition and processing in situations where a language or languages other than the
native language is involved. Second language is thus interpreted in its broadest
possible sense. The volumes included in the series all offer in their different ways, on
the one hand, exposition and discussion of empirical findings and, on the other, some
degree of theoretical reflection. In this latter connection, no particular theoretical
stance is privileged in the series; nor is any relevant perspective – sociolinguistic,
psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, etc. – deemed out of place. The intended readership
of the series includes final-year undergraduates working on second language
acquisition projects, postgraduate students involved in second language acquisition
research, and researchers and teachers in general whose interests include a second
language acquisition component.
