Abstract:

This book aims to help researchers and teachers interested in language
processing and Processability Theory (PT) to understand this theory and its
applications. PT is an influential account of second language processing which
hypothesizes that, due to the architecture of language processing, learners
acquire second languages in developmental stages. This book lays out PT’s
predictions and research on the development of diverse target languages –
particularly English and Scandinavian languages – by learners of various
categories. It discusses the typological issues facing PT and its contribution
to an understanding of variation and cognitive constraints on pedagogy.
However, the book also raises a critical eye to the literature which, after
almost twenty years of evolution, requires explanation, clarification and, in
some cases, extension. Why do some phenomena belong to different stages in
different languages? Why are important types of variation under-represented?
Is teaching as constrained as proposed in PT?
