Full Descriptive Statistics for NP Complexity.This volume addresses an important gap in the literature on task design and second language use. Building on insights from over 50 years of research on the relationship between task demands and language use, it examines how referent similarity relates to developmentally-relevant variation in the use of nominal structures, comparative structures and abstract lexis among first and second language speakers of English. In addition to providing an empirical basis for future research on tasks, it shares both theoretical and practical information on task design, which will greatly benefit curriculum and material developers.Language acquisitionLinguisticsLanguage and languages—Study and teachingCurriculum planningLanguage Acquisition and Developmenthttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/N13020Language and Literaturehttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/N29000Language Educationhttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/N13010Curriculum Studieshttp://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/O15000Language acquisition.Linguistics.Language and languages—Study and teaching.Curriculum planning.Language Acquisition and Development.Language and Literature.Language Education.Curriculum Studies.418.0071Lambert Craigauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058031BOOK9910350281003321Referent Similarity and Nominal Syntax in Task-Based Language Teaching2496622UNINA
