«Clearly-explained theories form the foundation for innovative research techniques, which are brought together in coherent and consistent ways. Lenzing takes long-established insights and turns them into precise, testable claims that have the potential to be operationalised for other aspects of additional language development.»

Examining a key issue in second language acquisition (SLA) research, this book explores the relation between second language (L2) production and comprehension at the level of processing. The central question underlying this interface is the relationship between grammatical encoding and decoding, namely: are the two modalities of production and comprehension subserved by different types of processors, or by the same syntactic processing module?
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.

«Lenzing’s book is unique and compelling. The results of the study offer clear support to her hypotheses and have crucial repercussions not only for the theory and praxis of second-language teaching, but also for experimental and developmental psycholinguistics. This book deserves the serious attention of anyone active in these areas.»
