Sandra Mollin is senior lecturer in English Linguistics at the Universität Heidelberg.

She is the author of The (Ir)Reversibility of English Binomials (2014) and Euro-English: Assessing Variety Status (2006). Simone E. Pfenninger is Assistant Professor at Universität Salzburg. Her principal research areas are multilingualism, psycholinguistics and individual differences in second language acquisition, especially in regard to quantitative approaches and statistical methods and techniques for language application in education. She is the co-editor of the Second Language Acquisition book series for Multilingual Matters.'This innovative collection sketches what a long overdue cooperation of psycholinguistics and language change could look like. By systematically investigating key psycholinguistic factors from both perspectives, it closes a striking gap in historical linguistics.' Lieselotte Anderwald, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel
'This is an admirable example of how a sophisticated analysis of a narrowly defined and partly even invisible phenomenon can reveal deep insights into language acquisition, with wide-ranging consequences for syntactic theory. As such, it is also a demonstration of how acquisition research can inform grammatical theory. Beautifully written, this book is therefore highly recommended to a readership not only interested in language acquisition but also in syntactic theory.' Jürgen Meisel, Universität Hamburg
'Each chapter in this book provides many research ideas for different scholars in any linguistics field like corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, TESOL, etc. both theoretically and empirically. These research ideas can help flourish these two disciplines much better and establish a fully interdisciplinary field.' Pouya Vakili, LINGUIST List
