Please recommend books or publications by

  1. legitimate linguistics professors (anyone with a teaching position), at an accredited university
  2. with a PhD in linguistics

detailing their own SLA process. How did they learn — for themself and on their own — new L2 languages as an adult, after earning their PhD in linguistics?

I'm not referring to L1 acquisition.

Linguistics S.E. closed a similar question.

    @Tommi I meant "anyone in a university teaching position (the US use of the word)". NOT "only the permanent university faculty of the highest rank?" –  Dec 28 '21 at 10:42
  • @Tsundoku the title fells too lengthy without any punctuation. hope my commas are OK? –  Dec 28 '21 at 21:11
  • Linguistics professors are more into research and theory of languages. They don't necessarily learn languages themselves in order to get to fluency, nor are they that likely to have developed some kind of great learning or self-teaching program. You probably want to look for foreign language professors, not linguistics professors. – Brandin Jan 03 '22 at 08:11

    I'm trying to decide if posting about J. Marvin Brown would be appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW8M4Js4UBA and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Marvin_Brown and https://beyondlanguagelearning.com/ – AML Jan 10 '22 at 15:05
