Profiling Learner Language as a Dynamic System by Zhaohong Han
This volume sheds empirical light on Complex Dynamic Systems Theory by providing analyses of two longitudinal, interactional datasets. The individual analyses traverse the domains of morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse. As a whole, the collection demonstrates the impact of the ecosystem on individuals' use of language.-

Unlike most other collections, this book consists of a series of articles that draw on data from the same macro contextThis gives a uniformity to the book that is rare in collections and very welcome. It makes a noteworthy contribution to the study of Complex Dynamic Systems and offers some important suggestions about how research in this area can move forward. I congratulate ZhaoHong Han on assembling such an interesting volume.
* Rod Ellis, Curtin University, Australia *The time has come to deliver on the promise of Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) in language studies. By adopting multiple approaches to a common data set, this innovative set of studies expertly applies CDST, and in doing so, clearly and unapologetically demonstrates both its emerging strengths and limitations.
* Peter D. MacIntyre, Cape Breton University, Canada *This edited volume is an innovative, challenging, and stimulating collection of papers that shed empirical light on Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) [...] it will provide an invaluable conception and metaphor that can assist in reinterpreting research findings, recognizing their limitations, and placing them in relation to other variables.
