Language Learning

Language Learning is a scientific journal dedicated to the understanding of language learning broadly defined. It publishes research articles that systematically apply methods of inquiry from disciplines including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, educational inquiry, neuroscience, ethnography, sociolinguistics, sociology and semiotics. It is concerned with fundamental theoretical issues in language learning such as child, second and foreign language acquisition, language education, bilingualism, literacy, language representation in mind and brain, culture, cognition, pragmatics and intergroup relations. Since 1994, subscription includes an annual supplement - a volume from the Best of Language Learning Series or the Language Learning Monograph Series. From 2006 there will also be a biennial Monograph, the Language Learning-Max Planck Institute Cognitive Neurosciences Series.
