In this article, we bring together conversation analysis and usage-based linguistics to investigate the second language (L2) developmental trajectory of a linguistic construction within the complex multimodal ecology of naturally occurring social interaction. We document how, over the course of 15 months, an L2 speaker's use of the French multiword expression comment on dit [how do you say] diversifies in both form and function. Two types of longitudinal change are observed: (a) The expression expands in its context of use: “Literal” uses are observed initially to request a candidate lexical item but are later also found in requests for confirmation, (b) these literal uses become proportionally less frequent, and the expression progressively routinizes as a marker-like element used for indexing cognitive search and floor-holding, and eventually also as a preface to self-correction. This routinization entails erosion in form and meaning, in concert with systematic change in co-occurring bodily-visual conduct, in particular gaze and gesture. By documenting change over time in the functional use and the multimodal delivery of the target construction, the findings evidence the longitudinal development of L2 grammar-for-interaction and showcase how linguistic and bodily resources may interface in L2 development. They also have important implications for language teaching and learning.

社交互动中和社交互动中多词表达的功能多样化和渐进式常规化：纵向 L2 研究

在本文中，我们将会话分析和基于使用的语言学结合起来，研究自然发生的社会互动的复杂多模态生态中语言结构的第二语言 (L2) 发展轨迹。我们记录了在 15 个月的过程中，一位 L2 演讲者如何在 dit 上使用法语多词表达评论[怎么说]形式和功能都多样化。观察到两种类型的纵向变化：（a）表达式在其使用上下文中扩展：最初观察到“字面”使用以请求候选词项，但后来也出现在确认请求中，（b）这些字面使用变成成比例地减少频率，并且表达式逐渐例行化为用于索引认知搜索和地板保持的类似标记的元素，并最终也作为自我纠正的前言。这种常规化需要形式和意义的侵蚀，与同时发生的身体视觉行为的系统变化相一致，特别是凝视和手势。通过记录目标结构的功能使用和多模式交付随时间的变化，这些发现证明了 L2 交互语法的纵向发展，并展示了语言和身体资源如何在 L2 发展中相互作用。它们对语言教学和学习也有重要意义。
