The objective of this chapter is to explain the developmental schedule described in Chapter 1 using the processability framework outlined in Chapter 3. For this purpose, we will first look at a summary of the developmental schedule for ESL acquisition. Then two empirical studies supporting this developmental schedule will be discussed. In a third step, the ESL developmental schedule will be explained utilizing the processability hierarchy that underlies PT.
