DESCRIPTION:How do we refer and how do we resolve reference in a second la
 nguage (L2)?  \nWhy do some second language learners show persistent varia
 bility in L2  \narticle production? And how do they process L2 articles in
  comprehension?  \nThese issues have been explored in a number of recent p
 rojects utilising a  \nrange of methodologies\, from picture descriptions 
 to eye-tracking in the  \nvisual world paradigm. Populations involved in t
 he experiments included L1  \nChinese\, L1 Thai and L1 French speakers of 
 L2 English\, as well as  \nmonolingual English speakers. The talk will hig
 hlight the most important  \nfindings\, suggesting differences in which na
 tive and non-native speakers of  \nEnglish represent and process English a
 rticles.
