Abstract:

Variationist work in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) began in the mid 1970s
and steadily progressed during the 1980s. Much of it was reviewed along with
newer approaches in Bayley and Preston 1996 (B&P), heavily devoted to VARBRUL
analyses that exposed the variability in developing interlanguages and placed
variationist work within the canon of SLA. This new volume features three
developing trends. First, it widens the scope of L1s of learners (from 6 in
B&P to 8) and L2 targets (2 in B&P to 7) and in each case has brought more
careful demographic and variable considerations to bear, including heritage
languages and study abroad. Second, it modernizes statistics by moving from
VARBRUL to the more widely used log-odds probabilities that allow more
detailed consideration of variables and their influences. Finally, it deepens
consideration of variable sociolinguistic meaning in learner behaviors, a
dominating feature of 3rd Wave variationist work.
