Popis: Item does not contain fulltext This chapter reviews research on how individual differences in linguistic and cognitive abilities influence syntactic processing in the second language (L2). We briefly discuss individual variability in L2 syntactic processing through the lens of behavioral measurements, followed by a more extensive review of electrophysiological (i.e., Event-Related Potentials, ERP) studies on L2 syntactic processing. Relative to the behavioral literature, fewer ERP studies have examined individual variability in L2 syntactic processing and the large majority of these studies focused on only two factors: Age of Acquisition and L2 proficiency. We also discuss studies that used correlational and regression analyses and oscillatory neural dynamics and complex network analysis. We conclude the chapter with a discussion of studies that examined inter-individual variation in ERP response profiles associated with L2 and L1 syntactic processing in L2 learners, and the application of the Response-Dominance Index to quantify individual variability in ERP response profiles.
