Applying Complex Dynamic Systems Theory to Identify Dynamic Properties of Plurilingual Repertoires

Abstract: Language repertoires have been traditionally construed as a set of chronologically determined compartments (first language, second language, etc.), a scheme which upholds several validity and ethical issues when operationalized in research and education (Ortega, 2019). Complex dynamic systems theory (also complexity theory, here CDST) has been hailed as one solution moving forward, but its applicability to plurilingual settings requires further testing. This exploratory study contributes by examining whether i… Show more

“…It builds on the notions of multicompetence (Cook, 1991(Cook, , 1992 and repertoire (Busch, 2017;Gumperz, 1982;Lüdi & Py, 2009), and emphasizes multimodality at both verbal and nonverbal levels (Lüdi, 2021). It values the idea of linguistic and cultural trajectories (Beacco et al, 2016) and is increasingly informed by complex dynamic system theories (Larsen-Freeman & Todeva, 2021;Stotz & Cardoso, 2021) embracing a dynamic and fluid perception of language use and learning. Being plurilingual involves a never-ending process of development of the repertoire as the plurilingual's linguistic and cultural experience broadens over time (Blommaert & Backus, 2013;Blommaert & Rampton, 2011;Busch, 2017).…”
