Abstract:

Dynamic systems theory, a general theory of change and development, offers anew way to study first and second language development and requires a newset of tools for analysis of empirical data. After a brief introduction to the theory,this book, co-authored by several leading scholars in the field, concentrates ontools and techniques recently developed to analyze language data from adynamic perspective. The chapters deal with the general thoughts and reasoningbehind coding data, analyzing variability, discovering interacting variables andmodeling. The accompanying How to sections give step-by-stepinstructions to using macros to speed up the coding, creating a dedicated lexicalprofile, making min-max graphs, testing for significance in single case studiesby running simulations, and modeling. Example files and data sets are availableon the accompanying website. Although the focus is on second languagedevelopment, the tools are applicable to a wide range of phenomena in appliedlinguistics.
