This excellent collection provides novel insights into the effects of dyslexia on second language learning and the linguistic challenges of dyslexic individuals from different first language backgrounds. It is an ideal resource for researchers in the fields of first and second language acquisition, bi- and multilingualism and language disorders, as well as for teachers of additional languages and language teacher educators.
What is the contribution of linguistics to the study of dyslexia?
