Working Papers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2015 Learning a second language (L2) is a complex and variable process. Unlike first language (L1) acquisition, second language acquisition (SLA) is often marked by an interlanguage (IL) consisting of fragmentary, incomplete knowledge to varying degrees in ...

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants
Oikos, EarlyView.Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

The Fossilization-Formula Interface
Working Papers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2015 The construct of fossilization has enjoyed considerable scrutiny over nearly four decades of second language acquisition (SLA) research. In contrast, the phenomena of formulaic expressions (FEs), which are multi-word language chunks processed as a whole,

Large‐Scale Distribution of Physical Data Using DNA‐of‐Things Technology in Newspaper Printing
Small, EarlyView.DNA‐of‐things technology enables stable data storage in large‐scale newspaper printing, with successful retrieval of 37 kB of digital data from a single ink dot containing approximately 14 femtograms of DNA. ABSTRACT DNA represents a promising solution for high‐density and long‐term data storage. In this study, we explore the scalability and robustness
