Hardini, Isriani, Bruno Di Biase, Satomi Kawaguchi and Carol Reid 2023 Chapter 9. Developmentally moderated focus on form in an Indonesian kindergarten EFL programmeProcessability and Language Acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Region, Kawaguchi, Satomi, Bruno Di Biase and Yumiko Yamaguchi (eds.), pp. 233–259 | Chapter
This study investigates the effect of Developmentally Moderated Focus on Form (DMFonF) focusing on plural marking in English L2 in Indonesian kindergarten children. Before the study, these children learned English through a communicative programme. The study, designed within the Processability… read more
Kawaguchi, Satomi 2023 Chapter 2. Studies of Japanese as a second language and their contribution to Processability TheoryProcessability and Language Acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Region, Kawaguchi, Satomi, Bruno Di Biase and Yumiko Yamaguchi (eds.), pp. 27–62 | Chapter
In the field of second language acquisition (SLA), Japanese has an important role to play. The typological characteristics of Japanese stand in clear contrast to Germanic and other European language families. These characteristics have contributed significantly to SLA, establishing… read more
Kawaguchi, Satomi and Junko Iwasaki 2023 Chapter 5. Acquiring content questions in Japanese child second languageProcessability and Language Acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Region, Kawaguchi, Satomi, Bruno Di Biase and Yumiko Yamaguchi (eds.), pp. 115–143 | Chapter
This longitudinal study examines the development of Japanese content questions in an English L1-Japanese L2 child within the Processability Theory (Pienemann, 1998). Our informant, John, started learning Japanese from 6;3 at a Japanese school in Australia. The data were collected between… read more

Processability Theory, second language learning and teaching in the Asia-Pacific regionProcessability and Language Acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Region, Kawaguchi, Satomi, Bruno Di Biase and Yumiko Yamaguchi (eds.), pp. 1–24 | Chapter
Liu, Bo, Bruno Di Biase and Satomi Kawaguchi 2023 Chapter 3. The development of lexical mapping in Chinese L2: The mapping of multiple arguments, passive and causative structuresProcessability and Language Acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Region, Kawaguchi, Satomi, Bruno Di Biase and Yumiko Yamaguchi (eds.), pp. 63–90 | Chapter
This study tests the applicability of the Lexical Mapping Hypothesis (LMH) to the L2 acquisition of Chinese syntax within a Processability Theory framework. The LMH makes testable predictions for L2 acquisition based on the mapping between argument-structure and functional-structure. Empirical… read more
Mohamed Salleh, Rabiah Tul Adawiyah, Bruno Di Biase and Satomi Kawaguchi 2023 Chapter 7. The bilingual development of plural marking in a Malay-English childProcessability and Language Acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Region, Kawaguchi, Satomi, Bruno Di Biase and Yumiko Yamaguchi (eds.), pp. 167–194 | Chapter
This study investigates the development of plural encoding in a Malay-English bilingual first language acquirer from a Processability Theory (PT) perspective. In Malay, plurality is encoded through reduplication, while English uses morphological inflection. The child’s oral production was… read more
Sakoda, Kumiko and Satomi Kawaguchi 2023 Chapter 6. Japanese L2 corpora and SLA researchProcessability and Language Acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Region, Kawaguchi, Satomi, Bruno Di Biase and Yumiko Yamaguchi (eds.), pp. 144–162 | Chapter
This chapter overviews learner corpora and corpus-based acquisition studies in Japanese to illustrate the advantages of using them in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research. It introduces learners’ oral and written production corpora, including I-JAS, the largest Japanese learner corpora in… read more
Kawaguchi, Satomi and Yumiko Yamaguchi 2019 Chapter 11. Early development and relative clause constructions in English as a second language: A longitudinal studyWidening Contexts for Processability Theory: Theories and issues, Lenzing, Anke, Howard Nicholas and Jana Roos (eds.), pp. 255–282 | Chapter
This study examines the development of relative clause (RC) constructions in a child learning English as a second language in a naturalistic environment. Processability Theory (PT) (Pienemann, 1998, 2005; Pienemann & Kessler, 2011) does not treat RCs, hence the present study looks at four major… read more
This study investigates the relationship between vocabulary size (Nation and Beglar 2007) and syntactic learning in English as a second language (ESL) using the framework of Processability Theory (PT, Pienemann 1998, Pienemann et al. 2005). In particular, the study focuses on the syntactic… read more
Kawaguchi, Satomi 2011 Japanese as a second language: A test case for the typological plausibility of PTStudying Processability Theory: An Introductory Textbook, Pienemann, Manfred and Jörg-U. Keßler (eds.), pp. 97–105 | Article
One of the key assumptions inherent in PT is its universal nature. The design of PT is based on the architecture of the language processor; therefore, the theory needs to apply to all human languages. In this chapter, the focus will be on two grammatical structures in Japanese which look rather… read more

This study of referential choice by Japanese native speakers and learners of Japanese has revealed some significant features in three different types of speech: 1) NS (native speaker)-NS interaction; 2) FT (foreigner talk) and; 3) NNSs’ (non-native speakers’) speech production. The study revealed… read more
