Description
Processability Theory provides a detailed examination of the mechanisms underlying second language acquisition, focusing on how learners progressively develop the ability to process increasingly complex grammatical structures. The theory proposes that language learners can only acquire structures they are cognitively ready to process, leading to a predictable developmental sequence that is largely independent of instruction or input frequency.
Written by leading experts in the field, this book synthesizes decades of research and offers valuable insights for linguists, language educators, and acquisition researchers. It addresses fundamental questions about the relationship between processing capacity, cognitive development, and language learning, providing empirical evidence and practical applications for understanding learner progression across different languages and learning contexts.
