2025 Chapter 9. Variability analysis using CAF measures Research Methods in Complex Dynamic Systems Theory Approaches to Second Language Development, Lowie, Wander, Rosmawati and Vanessa De Wilde (eds.), pp. 167–190 | Chapter
This chapter examines potential challenges for longitudinal L2 studies using quantitative CAF (complexity, accuracy, and fluency) measures. For a period of 13 months, we followed the CAF development of two L2 English students, collecting multiple samples at each monthly data point for several… read more
2017 From conceptualization to constructions in Finnish as an L2: A case study Pragmatics & Cognition 24:2, pp. 212–262 | Article
