  • Second Language Acquisition: an Advanced Resource Book
    September 20062006 Volume 10, Number 2 Top Second language acquisition: An advanced resource book Kees deBot, Wander Lowie & Marjolijn Verspoor Author: (2006) Publisher: New York: Routledge Pages ISBN Price Pp. xvi + 0-41-533870-0 $29.95 U.S. 303 Introduction DeBot, Lowie, and Verspoor have produced a well-written textbook/resource that covers important areas of second language acquisition (SLA). Although the title has the word "advanced" in it, this should not frighten any reader with an interest in how languages are learned and with questions such as whether form-focused instruction is beneficial to the learner. This text can profitably be read as a second book in the field, perhaps after starting with Bill VanPatten's excellent slim text From input to output: A teacher's guide to second language acquisition (2002) or Lightbrown and Spada's How languages are learned (2006). Second language acquisition: An advanced resource book is divided into three sections. Unit A covers the field of SLA research in a manner similar to other textbooks. The chapters in this unit are as follows: A1) Defining the field A2) Dynamic aspects of SLA A3) Historical perspectives A4) The multilingual mind A5) The developing system A6) Learners' characteristics A7) The role of instruction. Unit B extends all of these topics by providing hallmark SLA articles along with annotations, commentary, and follow-up and reflection questions. Unit C further TESL-EJ 10.2, Sept. 2006 deBot, Lowie & Verspoor / Kozel 1 explores the same topics and in the process encourages the reader to think about, reflect upon, and do their own research on such topics in SLA.

  • Introduction: Reconciling Approaches to Intra-Individual Variation in Psycholinguistics and Variationist Sociolinguistics
    Linguistics Vanguard 2021; 7(s2): 20200027 Lars Bülow* and Simone E. Pfenninger Introduction: Reconciling approaches to intra-individual variation in psycholinguistics and variationist sociolinguistics https://doi.org/10.1515/lingvan-2020-0027 Abstract: The overall theme of this special issue is intra-individual variation, that is, the observable variation within individuals’ behaviour, which plays an important role in the humanities area as well as in the social sciences. While various fields have recognised the complexity and dynamism of human thought and behav- iour, intra-individual variation has received less attention in regard to language acquisition, use and change. Linguistic research so far lacks both empirical and theoretical work that provides detailed information on the occurrence of intra-individual variation, the reasons for its occurrence and its consequences for language development as well as for language variation and change. The current issue brings together two sub- disciplines – psycholinguistics and variationist sociolinguistics – in juxtaposing systematic and non- systematic intra-individual variation, thereby attempting to build a cross-fertilisation relationship between two disciplines that have had surprisingly little connection so far. In so doing, we address critical stock-taking, meaningful theorizing and methodological innovation. Keywords: psycholinguistics, variationist sociolinguistics, intra-individual variation, intra-speaker variation, SLA, language variation and change, language development 1 Intra-individual variation in psycholinguistics and variationist sociolinguistics The overall theme of this special issue is intra-individual variation, that is, the observable variation within individuals’ behaviour, which plays an important role in the humanities area as well as in the social sciences.

  • Chapter 4 the Mental Lexicon of Multilingual Adult Learners of Italian L3: a Study of Word Association Behavior and Cross-Lingual Semantic Priming
    Chapter 4 The mental lexicon of multilingual adult learners of Italian L3: A study of word association behavior and cross-lingual semantic priming Anna Gudmundson Stockholm University This study, a partial replication of the study conducted by Fitzpatrick & Izura (2011) on bilingual speakers, investigates the structure and processing of the mental lex- icon of multilingual speakers of first language (L1) Swedish, second language (L2) English and third language (L3) Italian in order of acquisition. By way of word association tasks in all three languages, the effect of language status (L1, L2, L3) and association category (i.e., the different kinds of word association responses) on reaction time (RT) and association distribution (i.e., proportion of associations in different association categories) is measured. Results show a significant effect of language status on association distribution and on RT. The present study also investigates the effect of long-term cross-lingual semantic priming and lexical me- diation between L3 and L2 in a lexical decision task (LDT), i.e. if the activation of L3 conceptual information is mediated by the corresponding word form in the L2. The primes in this study are English words whose Italian translation equiva- lents were present in the prior L3 Italian word association task. The translation equivalents obtained shorter RTs compared to control words, which indicates that L2 English words were activated during the L3 Italian word association task. The kind of cross-lingual priming found in the multilinguals investigated in this study would imply that, besides the L1, also an L2 could mediate in lexical processing, and that the L1 does not have a privileged status in that respect.

  • Proceedings of the Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Linguistic Complexity, Pages 1–11, Osaka, Japan, December 11-17 2016
    CL4LC 2016 Computational Linguistics for Linguistic Complexity Proceedings of the Workshop December 11, 2016 Osaka, Japan Copyright of each paper stays with the respective authors (or their employers). ISBN 978-4-87974-709-9 ii Preface Welcome to the first edition of the “Computational Linguistics for Linguistic Complexity” workshop (CL4LC)! CL4LC aims at investigating “processing” aspects of linguistic complexity with the objective of promoting a common reflection on approaches for the detection, evaluation and modelling of linguistic complexity. What has motivated such a focus on linguistic complexity? Although the topic of linguistic complexity has attracted researchers for quite some time, this concept is still poorly defined and often used with different meanings. Linguistic complexity indeed is inherently a multidimensional concept that must be approached from various perspectives, ranging from natural language processing (NLP), second language acquisition (SLA), psycholinguistics and cognitive science, as well as contrastive linguistics. In 2015, a one-day workshop dedicated to the question of Measuring Linguistic Complexity was organized at the catholic University of Louvain (UCL) with the aim of identifying convergent approaches in diverse fields addressing linguistic complexity from their specific viewpoint. Not only did the workshop turn out to be a great success, but it strikingly pointed out that more in–depth thought is required in order to investigate how research on linguistic complexity and its processing aspects could actually benefit from the sharing of definitions, methodologies and techniques developed from different perspectives. CL4LC stems from these reflections and would like to go a step further towards a more multifaceted view of linguistic complexity. In particular, the workshop would like to investigate processing aspects of linguistic complexity both from a machine point of view and from the perspective of the human subject in order to pinpoint possible differences and commonalities.

  • The Dynamic Interplay Between Educational Practice, Policy and Research
    INVITED ARTICLE The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? The Dynamic Interplay Between Educational Practice, Policy and Research PAUL VAN GEERT and HENDERIEN STEENBEEK University of Groningen (Netherlands) The notion of complexity — as in “education is a complex system” — has two different meanings. On the one hand, there is the epistemic connotation, with “Complex” meaning “difficult to understand, hard to control”. On the other hand, complex has a technical meaning, referring to systems composed of many interacting components, the interactions of which lead to self organization and emergence. For agents, participating in a complex system such as education, it is important that they can reduce the epistemic complexity of the system, in order to allow them to understand the system, to accomplish their goals and to evaluate the results of their activities. We argue that understanding, accomplishing and evaluation requires the creation of simplex systems, which are praxis‐based forms of representing complexity. Agents participating in the complex system may have different kinds of simplex systems governing their understanding and praxis. In this article, we focus on three communities of agents in education — educators, researchers and policymakers — and discuss characteristic features of their simplex systems. In particular, we focus on the simplex system of educational researchers, and we discuss interactions — including conflicts or incompatibilities — between their simplex systems and those of educators and policymakers. By making some of the underlying features of the educational researchers’ simplex systems more explicit – including the underlying notion of causality and the use of variability as a source of knowledge — we hope to contribute to clarifying some of the hidden conflicts between simplex systems of the communities participating in the complex system of education.

  • The Emergence and Development of Syntactic Patterns in EFL Writing in a School Context: a Longitudinal Study
    languages Article The Emergence and Development of Syntactic Patterns in EFL Writing in a School Context: A Longitudinal Study M. Luz Celaya Department of Modern Languages and Literatures and English Studies, University of Barcelona, 08007 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Received: 21 March 2019; Accepted: 18 June 2019; Published: 19 June 2019 Abstract: The present longitudinal study analyses the emergence and development of syntactic patterns in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) written production. Data were elicited by means of a paper and pencil task from sixteen school learners at three different times over a time span of 6 years. Studies in the area of Second Language Writing (SLW) have mainly focused on English as a second language and very few longitudinal studies have been carried out with low proficiency learners in a school context. To further contribute to the field, we have tried out a new measure of analysis, namely, the production of syntactic patterns. The results show that most learners produce both a wider variety and a higher number of patterns from one time to another, although statistically significant differences vary across patterns in relation to the times of data collection; secondly, it was found that the behaviour of two of the learners differed from that of the rest of the participants. It is concluded that in an instructional setting, the development of syntactic patterns in EFL writing as proficiency increases does not always show progression towards complexity and that it may be learner dependent. Keywords: English as a foreign language; individual variation; syntactic patterns; Second Language Writing 1.

  • Proximate and Ultimate Explanations of Individual Differences in Language Use and Language Acquisition
    Proximate and ultimate explanations of individual differences in language use and language acquisition Jan Hulstijn University of Amsterdam I evaluate three schools in linguistics (structuralism; generative linguistics; usage based linguistics) from the perspective of Karl Popper’s critical ratio- nalism. Theories (providing proximate explanations) may be falsified at some point in time. In contrast, metatheories, such as Darwin’s theory of evolution and the theory of Language as a Complex Adaptive System (LCAS) (providing ultimate explanations) are falsifiable in principle, but not likely to be falsified. I then argue that LCAS provides a fruitful frame- work for the explanation of individual differences in language acquisition and use. Unequal frequency distributions of linguistic elements constitute a necessary characteristic of language production, in line with LCAS. How- ever, explaining individual differences implies explaining commonalities (Hulstijn, 2015, 2019). While attributes such as people’s level of education and profession are visible in knowledge of the standard language (declara- tive knowledge acquired in school), they may be invisible in the spoken ver- nacular (linguistic cognition shared by all native speakers). Keywords: basic language cognition, language as a complex adaptive system, Darwin’s theory of evolution, falsifiability, theory versus metatheory, individual differences, language use, language acquisition Uncertainty, that is perhaps the best word with which I should characterize the most frequent feelings that I experienced throughout my intellectual journey, since I entered university until the present.Uncertainty about what to think of a new theoretical viewpoint.What to think of an ongoing debate between scholars defending different theories? What to think of new methodologies? My intellec- tual journey consisted of ups and downs and the downs were really unpleasant.
