Description

This comprehensive guide to advanced language proficiency and exceptional ability in second languages provides a long-overdue overview of ultimate attainment levels. Current knowledge on initial and intermediate stages of development is vast, but the study of advanced levels has been lacking coherence.

The book addresses this gap by summarizing current research on grammatical, lexical, and discourse features that remain unstable at the most advanced levels of second language development. It also explores incipient research on two unique learner populations: polyglots and employees in international call centres.

This volume is relevant to all readers interested in second language theory, including professionals and students. For language teachers, it offers valuable insights into the development of advanced learners, making it a useful resource for classrooms.
