Abstract:

This edited volume is a timely and significant contribution to second
language development research from a Complex Dynamic Systems Theory
(CDST) perspective. The book addresses the growing need for consistent
and practical methodologies for CDST research. Each chapter presents
an innovative method or approach, illustrating its use in concrete
applications to empirical studies and highlighting its value in
capturing the dynamic, time-sensitive, and interconnected nature of L2
development. The volume emphasizes a shift from static outcomes to
developmental processes, offering tools to explore intra-learner
variability, network analysis, dynamic modeling, and more. By bridging
theory and practice, it equips researchers with methodological
guidance to investigate the process of second language development.
Building on and extending previous volumes on CDST research methods by
Verspoor et al. (2011) and Hiver and Al-Hoorie (2019), this book
serves as a crucial reference for future CDST-informed research in
Applied Linguistics.
