New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2006. "This fascinating case study of a fossilized speaker of English makes a major contribution to our understanding of the linguistic competence of second language speakers. The book explores a number of central issues relating to ultimate attainment; of particular interest is the dissociation between syntax (which is native-like in many respects) and morphology (which is not). This book will be of considerable interest to researchers and students in the fields of linguistics and language acquisition." - Lydia White.
