テーマ：      Thinking ahead in a second language:
On the role of prediction in L2 processing

要 旨： The role of prediction, or anticipation, in native
language (L1) processing has been investigated extensively
over the past couple of decades. Yet it is only in the last
few years that prediction/anticipation in second language
(L2) processing has become a topic of interest. In this talk,
I will discuss how the investigation of prediction in L2
processing may help us move beyond the common but rather
unsatisfying description of differences between L1 and L2
speakers as L2 learners having “a processing problem”.
Drawing on published findings as well as recent and on-going
studies in our lab, I will argue that L2 speakers do not
  necessarily differ from L1 speakers in whether or not they
engage in prediction, but in how and when they engage in
prediction, and what information they use to predict what
comes next. Taken together, these findings suggest that
prediction is a universal mechanism of human language
processing (and behavior more generally), and that L1 and L2
speakers make adaptive use of this mechanism depending on its
utility given their knowledge and processing goals in a
particular situation (Kuperberg & Jaeger, 2016).
