  • Summary

    The fundamental question to be explored in this chapter is what people actually learn when they learn ‘English’, and from this empirical basis distil the categories of the English language and the social-interactional roots of its learning. To this end, I draw on usage-based linguistics (UBL) and ethnomethodological conversation analysis (EMCA). The two-pronged approach combines into an interactional usage-based approach and allows me to capture development over time along two dimensions of L2 learning, namely development of L2 constructional inventories as seen through the lens of UBL and development of interactional competence as evidenced through moment-to-moment microanalyses of interactions (EMCA) over time.
