Abstract:

Processability Theory (PT) as developed by Manfred Pienemann is a 
prominent theory of second language acquisition. PT serves as a framework 
for a wide range of research covering issues, including L2 processing, 
interlanguage variation, typological effects on SLA, L1 transfer, pidgins and 
creoles, linguistic profiling, stabilisation/fossilisation and teachability. This 
textbook provides a reader-friendly introduction to PT. It is designed for 
students with a basic knowledge of (applied) linguistics. The components of 
PT are set out in four parts. The first part focuses on observed facts, in 
particular on paths of L2 development and learner variation. The second part 
gives an overview of the theoretical basis of PT. Part three details the 
application of PT to contexts other than ESL (i.e. Japanese, creoles and 
bilingual acquisition), and the forth part focuses on practical applications. 
Each chapter contains exercises (including data analysis and interpretation) 
which may be used for individual study or in class. The textbook can be used 
as a concise introduction to PT. However, it may also serve as a point of 
reference for particular PT-related topics. The individual chapters were written 
by specialists in each of the research areas.
