Leeser, Michael J. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2004
Research in first language and second language (L2) comprehension has demonstrated that both learner and input variables contribute to the ease with which a message is understood.

Paribakht, T. Sima – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2004
The role of grammatical knowledge in second language (L2) lexical processing is far from clear.

The three…
