This chapter provides a brief introduction to language acquisition research. Our survey focuses on child and adult language learning, so we cover both the acquisition of native language (L1) or languages, and of additional languages (L2, L3, etc.). In doing so, we will first describe the methods typically used to investigate language learning (Section ...
