In their paper De Bot, Lowie and Verspoor (henceforth DBL&V) attempt to recast SLA research from a non-modular and psychometric position that is based on the assumption that “all variables are interrelated and therefore changes in one variable will have an impact on all other variables that are part of the system” (p. 8). In such grand endeavour their paper naturally raises a large number of issues in SLA research.
