For some, research in learning and teaching of a second language (L2) runs the risk of disintegrating into irreconcilable approaches to L2 learning and use. On the one side, we find researchers investigating linguistic-cognitive issues, often using quantitative research methods including inferential statistics; on the other side, we find…

Specifically, our interest is in whether speakers shift from a first language (L1) to a L2 TFS pattern as…

Problematic trends are addressed, and a principled theory of oral proficiency is identified. (DJD)

Frawley, William; Lantolf, James P. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1984
Refutes the assumption on which most second language research is based--that language is intended by its speakers to transfer information to some interlocutor--by responding to Tomlin's paper in the same journal, "The Treatment of Foreground-Background Information in the On-Line Descriptive Discourse of Second Language Learners."
