Abstract:

This volume integrates complex dynamic systems theory (CDST) and L2 writing
scholarship through a collection of in-depth studies and commentary across a
range of writing constructs, learning contexts, and second and foreign
languages. The text is arranged thematically across four topics: (i)
perspectives on complexity, accuracy, and fluency, (ii) new constructs,
approaches, and domains of L2-writing scholarship, (iii) methodological
issues, and finally (iv) curricular perspectives. This work should appeal to
graduate students and academics interested in expanded discussions on CDST,
highlighting its utility for theorizing and researching language change, and
to L2 writing scholars curious about how this fresh approach to researching L2
development can inform understandings of how L2 writing develops. As a CDST
approach to language change has matured and taken a place among the dominant
epistemologies in the field, students and researchers of L2 development alike
will benefit from this volume.
