Widening Contexts for Processability Theory: Theories and issues
Edited by Anke Lenzing, Howard Nicholas and Jana Roos
This book explores relationships between Processability Theory approaches and other approaches to SLA. It is distinctive in two ways. It offers PT-insiders a way to see connections between their familiar traditions and theories with other ways of working. Parallel to this it offers readers who work… read more[Processability Approaches to Language Acquisition Research & Teaching, 7] 2019. ix, 404 pp.
Developing, Modelling and Assessing Second Languages
Edited by Jörg-U. Keßler, Anke Lenzing and Mathias Liebner
This edited volume brings together the work of a number of researchers working in the framework of Processability Theory (PT), a psycholinguistic theory of second language acquisition (SLA) (Pienemann 1998; 2005). The aim of the volume is two-fold: It engages with current issues in both theory… read more[Processability Approaches to Language Acquisition Research & Teaching, 5] 2016. xviii, 244 pp. | open access
The Development of the Grammatical System in Early Second Language Acquisition: The Multiple Constraints Hypothesis
Anke Lenzing
Shortlisted for the Christopher Brumfit Award in Applied Linguistics.The Development of the Grammatical System in Early Second Language Acquisition focuses on the acquisition process of early L2 learners. It is based on the following key hypothesis: the initial mental grammatical system of L2… read more[Processability Approaches to Language Acquisition Research & Teaching, 3] 2013. xx, 280 pp.
2025 Chapter 10. How a processability perspective frames the potential of tasks in instructed second language acquisition Broadening the Horizon of TBLT: Plenary addresses from the second decade of the International Conference on Task-Based Language Teaching, East, Martin (ed.), pp. 183–211 | Chapter
Processability Theory (PT) focuses on the nature of second language (L2) learners’ processing capacities to clarify the obstacles, achievements, and (some) systematic aspects of variation in L2 learning. In this chapter, I show that a processability perspective on tasks can contribute to our… read more
2022 Chapter 3. Stabilization: A dynamic account Second Language Acquisition Theory: The legacy of Professor Michael H. Long, Benati, Alessandro G. and John W. Schwieter (eds.), pp. 29–76 | Chapter
We accord with Mike Long’s rejection of fossilization as a concept able to describe or explain second language acquisition. And we share his bewilderment (Long, 2003, p. 512f.) that since most studies of fossilization make reference to explanatory factors external to language and cognition,… read more
2019 Chapter 2. Towards an integrated model of grammatical encoding and decoding in SLA Widening Contexts for Processability Theory: Theories and issues, Lenzing, Anke, Howard Nicholas and Jana Roos (eds.), pp. 13–48 | Chapter
In this chapter, I consider the interface between production and comprehension in second language acquisition (SLA). I argue that the two processes rely on (partially) shared resources and propose an integrated encoding-decoding model of SLA. The core of the model is a single syntactic processor… read more
2019 Chapter 1. Contextualising issues in Processability Theory Widening Contexts for Processability Theory: Theories and issues, Lenzing, Anke, Howard Nicholas and Jana Roos (eds.), pp. 1–8 | Chapter
2019 Chapter 17. How does PT’s view of acquisition relate to the challenge of widening perspectives on SLA? Widening Contexts for Processability Theory: Theories and issues, Lenzing, Anke, Howard Nicholas and Jana Roos (eds.), pp. 391–398 | Chapter
2016 The development of argument structure in the initial L2 mental grammatical system Developing, Modelling and Assessing Second Languages, Keßler, Jörg-U., Anke Lenzing and Mathias Liebner (eds.), pp. 3–34 | Article
This chapter investigates the development of argument structure in early L2 acquisition. I view argument structure and its development within the context of the Multiple Constraints Hypothesis (Lenzing 2013) and its core claim that the L2 initial mental grammatical system is constrained at the… read more
2016 Modelling and assessing second language acquisition: 30 years onwards Developing, Modelling and Assessing Second Languages, Keßler, Jörg-U., Anke Lenzing and Mathias Liebner (eds.), pp. ix–xiv | Article
2016 Testing the Developmentally Moderated Transfer Hypothesis: The initial state and the role of the L2 in L3 acquisition* Developing, Modelling and Assessing Second Languages, Keßler, Jörg-U., Anke Lenzing and Mathias Liebner (eds.), pp. 79–98 | Article
This paper focuses on one specific aspect of the Developmentally Moderated Transfer Hypothesis (Pienemann et al. 2005), namely the role of the L2 in L3 acquisition. The research presented in this paper was prompted by the L2 transfer hypothesis put forward by Bohnacker (2006) and Bardel and Falk… read more
2015 Chapter 6. Constraints on Processing: L1 Transfer and the L2 Initial Mental Grammatical System Theoretical and Methodological Developments in Processability Theory, Baten, Kristof, Aafke Buyl, Katja Lochtman and Mieke Van Herreweghe (eds.), pp. 115–138 | Article
This chapter focuses on the nature of the L2 initial mental grammatical system and the related question to what extent L2 learners transfer syntactic structures from their L1 at the L2 initial state. Transfer is viewed within the overall context of a model of the L2 initial mental grammatical… read more
