Abstract:

This comprehensive and detailed analysis of second language writers' text
identifies explicitly and quantifiably where their text differs from that
of native speakers of English. The book is based on the results of a
large-scale study of university-level native-speaker and non-native-speaker
essays written in response to six prompts. Specifically, the research
investigates the frequencies of uses of 68 linguistic (syntactic and
lexical) and rhetorical features in  essays written by advanced non-native
speakers compared with those in the essays of native speakers enrolled in
first-year composition courses. The selection of features for inclusion in
this analysis is based on their textual functions and meanings, as
identified in earlier research on English language grammar and lexis. Such
analysis is valuable because it can inform the teaching of grammar and
lexis, as well as discourse, and serve as a basis for second language
curriculum and course design; and provide valuable insight for second
language pedagogical applications of the study's findings.
