The study focuses on the acquisition of past participle inflection by children acquiring German as a second language. Two issues are addressed: the relevance of age of onset (AO) and critical periods, and the status of regular and irregular inflection. Longitudinal data from two Italian adult L2 learners and from seven successive bilingual Turkish children acquiring German (AO 3-4) are investigated. The main findings confirm that the adults acquire past participles unlike monolinguals and unlike the investigated bilingual children, indicating an effect of critical periods. The successive bilingual children behave basically like monolinguals. The bilingual children overgeneralize the regular suffix -t more often than the irregular suffix -n, which cannot be explained by frequency. This indicates the different representational status of these two inflections and strengthens dual mechanism accounts. Differences with respect to error frequencies can be explained on the phonological level.

Throughout nineteen chapters the problems of teaching grammar are discussed. Only recently the argument whether grammar is useful or not has been newly engaged. Just like an encyclopaedia the major factors in this argument are presented here. This Work includes an extensive collection of source material and bibliographic notes. The different position of the discussion are critically analysed and the demands and requirements for teaching grammar are clearified.
