Description

Explore the fascinating intersection of linguistic theory and language learning through this comprehensive historical analysis. From ancient Mediterranean scholars to contemporary researchers, this book traces how Western thinkers have understood the universal properties shared across human languages and how these conceptions have shaped second language acquisition theory. The author argues that modern SLA theory must reassess its own historical foundations, revealing how our understanding of language universals has evolved alongside our approaches to teaching and learning foreign languages. This volume provides essential context for anyone seeking to understand the theoretical underpinnings of contemporary language education and the deep historical roots connecting universal grammar to acquisition studies.

Key Features

Part of the Routledge Studies in the History of Linguistics series, offering scholarly depth on linguistic theory development.

Traces the evolution of universal grammar concepts from ancient times through to modern second language acquisition research.

Examines how Western scholars have conceptualised language universals and their influence on foreign language pedagogy.

Argues for a reassessment of SLA theory's historical foundations and theoretical antecedents.

Connects historical perspectives on language learning with contemporary acquisition theory and practice.
