Abstract:

"Dynamic Variation in Second Language Acquisition" makes a cutting-edge
contribution to knowledge about how second language learners develop their
second language. Drawing comprehensively on Processability Theory’s
theoretical understanding that individual variation dynamically interacts with
ordered stages of language acquisition, the book provides an informative,
critical analysis of historical and contemporary debates about the role of
variation in linguistic variation, particularly second language variation.
Richly illustrated with a forensic year-long study of how eight adolescent
learners of English vary in their acquisition of syntax and morphology, this
monograph shows that learners vary in their timing of development between two
distinct learner types along a continuum and without skipping stages. The book
uncovers how learner variation is dynamic and quite (although not entirely)
systematic and how this variation contributes to change in the second
language. It will be essential reading for researchers, students, and
practitioners.
