Description
Summary:Slobin’s (1996) thinking for speaking hypothesis has been recently adopted by second language researchers as a valuable lens from which to examine the complexities of possible conceptual restructuring during interlanguage development.

Discussions focus on issues central to second language acquisition and the understanding of interlanguage from a meaning perspective.
