Westergaard, Marit – Second Language Research, 2021
In this article, I argue that first language (L1), second language (L2) and third language (L3) acquisition are fundamentally the same process, based on learning by parsing.

This article is an autoethnographic account of a 'schizoaffective' sufferer learning about and navigating the environs of saneness as a graduate student resisting traditional sane pedagogic structures.
