This volume addresses the growing interest amongst second language acquisition researchers in linguistic relativity. The chapter authors conceptually explore and empirically investigate the relevance of Slobins Thinking-for-Speaking Hypothesis to adult second language acquisition. The studies offer compelling evidence of the recalcitrant effects of L1-shaped cognition on second language production.
