Abstract

This review introduces readers to the Manual of Language Acquisition, edited by Christian Fäcke, and part of the “Manuals of Romance Linguistics” series. The Manual surveys current and central issues in the acquisition of Romance languages and cultures, as well as raises important questions about the relationship between Romance languages and with other languages—immigrant languages, local dialects, English—across the Romance–speaking world.
