Ebook: The Production-Comprehension Interface in Second Language Acquisition: An Integrated Encoding-Decoding Model

This book explores the relation between second language (L2) production and comprehension at the level of processing. Proposing an ‘Integrated Encoding-Decoding Model’ of SLA, Anke Lenzing presents the results of a comprehensive empirical study to demonstrate the extent to which the two modalities rely on shared representations and/or shared processes. Through this detailed analysis, she sheds new light on the cognitive architecture of human language processing and offers a deeper understanding of the mechanisms at work in the L2 acquisition process.
