Do I need want to speak? Foreigners in a “small” language country

Journal of Baltic Studies, 2020, vol. 51, issue 1, 35-50

Abstract: This article draws on linguistic and sociolinguistic data that was gathered to study the acquisition of Lithuanian as a second language and considers the factors that are at work in the process of language acquisition. The article also presents an overview of the varieties of language acquisition. A combination of biological, social, psychological, and other factors plays a role in this process and the complexity is shown by considering sociolinguistic data and the reflections of the study’s participants.
