Description:
Steven L. Thorne: Beyond Bounded Conceptions of Cognition and Context in
Language Use and Development

Within applied linguistics as well as other disciplines, there is growing
commitment to more holistic and ecologically oriented frameworks that
recognize communicative practices as coordinated, embodied, relational,
distributed, and arrayed across mutable patterns of activity that emerge at
different time scales. Various theoretical and methodological-analytical
approaches will be illustrated via presentation of empirical studies of L2 and
plurilingual language use and learning. These include case studies of
“learning in the wild” (in the sense of Hutchins, 1995), focusing primarily on
L2 and plurilingual interaction in digital environments, and exploration of
innovative pedagogical interventions, such as mobile place-based augmented
reality, that emphasize the “rewilding” of instructed language learning, with
an emphasis on research findings that highlight patterns of social
organization and learning outcomes that these activities make possible.

Over four lectures, we will discuss frameworks and methodologies that include
cultural-historical and ecological approaches to development, extended and
embodied cognition, Usage-based Linguistics, ethnomethodology, corpus
linguistic methodologies, and recent scholarship described as the Distributed
Language Approach.

Nick C. Ellis: Usage-Based Approaches to Language Acquisition and Processing

Usage-based and emergentist theories of language acquisition investigate how
abstract linguistic knowledge is learned from experience of language in social
context. Accordingly, usage-based approaches consider (1) the psychology of
learning and cognition, (2) corpus analyses of the usage from which learners
induce their language, (3) child (L1) and second language (L2) analyses of how
input and learner cognition together drive acquisition, (4) psycholinguistic
analyses of these factors as they affect language processing.
