2019. This chapter examines relations between Peter Skehan’s task-based analysis of second language production (Skehan, 1998) and the Competition Model (MacWhinney, 2012, 2015b). Both of these approaches have a long history of development. However, until recently, there has been little interaction… read more | Chapter
Chapter 14. A unified model of first and second language learning. Sources of Variation in First Language Acquisition: Languages, contexts, and learners, Hickmann, Maya †, Edy Veneziano and Harriet Jisa (eds.), pp. 287–312
2018. The Unified Competition Model views first and second language learning as depending on a shared set of socio-cognitive processes. Differences between the two types of acquisition depend not on the expiration of a critical period, but on the operation of the risk factors of entrenchment, transfer,… read more | Chapter

Chapter 1. A tale of two paradigms. Language Acquisition across Linguistic and Cognitive Systems, Kail, Michèle and Maya Hickmann † (eds.), pp. 17–32
2010. The modern study of language, particularly as practiced in the Anglophone community, can be viewed as the tale of two competing paradigms: Universal Grammar (UG) and emergentism. These two paradigms take fundamentally different positions on these eight core issues: competence-performance, the… read more | Article
Second language processing in Japanese scrambled sentences. Research in Second Language Processing and Parsing, VanPatten, Bill and Jill Jegerski (eds.), pp. 159–176
2010. This study used self-paced reading to examine the processing of Japanese ditransitive scrambling by both native speakers and by second language (L2) learners of Japanese. Because Japanese places the verb at the end of the clause, the impact of verb-based expectations should be less than it is in… read more | Article
The emergence of linguistic complexity. Syntactic Complexity: Diachrony, acquisition, neuro-cognition, evolution, Givón, T. and Masayoshi Shibatani (eds.), pp. 405–432
2009. Linguists have often argued that recursion produces linguistic complexity.

In the brain, recursion is an emergent property of a set of adaptations that… read more | Article
