关系从句是体现语言递归性的一种重要表达手段，也是语言类型学和二语习得研究中关注最多的语言结构之一。在对各类关系从句跨语言考察的基础上，语言类型学家提出了著名的可及性等级序列。语言类型学、一语习得、二语习得等领域中许多关于关系从句的研究都显示出这个等级序列的重要性，但也发现一些矛盾之处。本书以此为切入点，从类型学的视角管窥二语习得现象，进一步详细讨论类型学共性与学习者语言特点之间的内在联系。具体而言，本李金满编著的《类型学视阈下的英语二语关系从句研究（英文版）》尝试全面系统地描述中国学习者使用英语关系从句时如何受可及性等级序列、关系从句的嵌入性以及名词的生命性等因素的多重制约，并解释学习者关系从句使用行为特征背后的动因和理据。研究问题主要包括：可及性、嵌入性和生命性是否在中国学习者的英语关系从句使用行为中起作用；可及性是否并且怎样和嵌入性及生命性这两个因素相互影响，共同作用于学习者语言；为什么这些因素会制约学习者的语言使用行为。

李金满编著的《类型学视阈下的英语二语关系从句研究（英文版）》以语言类型学领域中名词短语可及性等级序列为切入点，在类型学视角下探讨英语二语关系从句习得现象，管窥类型学共性概况与学习者语言特征之间的内在联系。通过拓展研究范围，改善研究方法，本书尝试全面系统地描述中国学习者使用英语关系从句时如何受可及性等级序列、关系从句的嵌入性以及名词的生命性等因素的多重制约，并解释学习者关系从句使用行为特征背后的动因和理据。本书研究视角新颖，研究方法多样，可供语言习得和教学、语言类型学、语料库语言学等多个领域的研究者和高校师生参考。
