2019 Chapter 13. Task-based analysis and the Competition Model Researching L2 Task Performance and Pedagogy: In honour of Peter Skehan, Wen, Zhisheng (Edward) and Mohammad Javad Ahmadian (eds.), pp. 305–316 | Chapter
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
2018 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 | Chapter
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

Improvements in computer technology have opened up new possibilities for integrating web-based language learning with classroom practice. In particular, experimental computer-assisted language learning (eCALL) methods can make student learning more efficient, while also providing detailed data for… read more

2010 Chapter 1. A tale of two paradigms Language Acquisition across Linguistic and Cognitive Systems, Kail, Michèle and Maya Hickmann † (eds.), pp. 17–32 | Article
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
2010 Second language processing in Japanese scrambled sentences Research in Second Language Processing and Parsing, VanPatten, Bill and Jill Jegerski (eds.), pp. 159–176 | Article
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
2009 The emergence of linguistic complexity Syntactic Complexity: Diachrony, acquisition, neuro-cognition, evolution, Givón, T. and Masayoshi Shibatani (eds.), pp. 405–432 | Article
Linguists have often argued that recursion produces linguistic complexity. However, recursion itself preexisting processes such as lexical insertion, lexical combination, memory stacks, and methods of interpretation. In the brain, recursion is an emergent property of a set of adaptations that… read more
