| description | This research explores syntactic complexity differences of L2 writing in the
Longitudinal Corpus of Languaculturer Narrative Texts (Chau, 2015). This research
aims to study syntactic complexity development in L2 writing based on the idea that
learner language should be described in its own right. This study uses the L2
Complexity Analyzer (Lu, 2010) to process the written English sample by the
participants and provides 14 indices as a measure of syntactic complexity. The scores
from L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer were analyzed using repeated measures
ANOVA, establishing statistical differences of 14 indices between the four different
points in time. |
