Annotation

Explicit instruction elicits shifts in advanced French second language (L2) learners' (n = 18) contextually fit use of two stylistic variables, albeit their skills to match stylistic L1 norms are moderated by task type (planned vs. unplanned oral task), variables' linguistic intricacy, and personal speech-style choices.
