Summary:

This text uses linguistic theory to explain the complex knowledge that bilinguals have about the sound systems (phonology) of the languages they know. John Archibald probes the nature of the underlying mental grammar of bilinguals, providing examples to build the argument that such a grammar is richly structured and highly complex. He emphasizes that phonology is about cognition, not the physics of sound. By showing that second language learners' grammars are complex (even when they speak with an accent), this book helps overcome some of the negative stereotypes of non-native speakers around the world.
