Description
This book honours the contribution of Marjolijn Verspoor to the development and implementation of dynamic usage-based (DUB) approaches in second language (L2) research and pedagogy. With chapters written by renowned experts in the field, the book addresses the dynamics of language, language learning and language teaching from a usage-based perspective. The book contains both theory and empirical work: the initial theoretical chapters present cutting-edge thinking in relation to both the scope of DUB theory and its applications, providing conceptual perspectives from cognitive grammar and linguistics, thinking-for-speaking (TFS), and Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) approaches, united by their shared underpinnings of language as a dynamic system of conventionalized routines. The second half of the volume showcases state-of-the-art methodologies to study dynamic trajectories of language learning, empirical investigations into the above-mentioned theoretical concepts, and innovative classroom implementations of DUB language pedagogy.
Reviews / Votes
In 14 contributions, 30 seasoned and novice researchers of linguistics and L2 learning and teaching pay tribute to Marjolijn Verspoor's scholarship. The umbrella provided by the Dynamic Usage-Based (DUB) account of L2 acquisition appears to be much wider than I had thought. DUB clearly is alive (and kicking). Warmly recommended. * Jan Hulstijn, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands * This volume effectively illustrates how Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) helps us construct an empirically grounded, ecologically realistic understanding of second language learning, with each chapter exploring a different dimension of the approach. Together, these studies provide us with a real feast of ideas and data, all in support of this new perspective. * Brian MacWhinney, Carnegie Mellon University, USA *More details
