Dr. Matt Kanwit has a new article in the latest issue of The Modern Language Journal (MLJ). In the article, titled, "Beyond the Present Indicative: Lexical Futures as Indicators of Development in L2 Spanish," he shows that lexical futures, although they are formally similar to the present indicative (PI), can be differentiated from the PI as predicted by independent linguistic variables, that they reveal learner development, and that they are also important to study based on the form's propensity to grammaticalize into a morphological-future form cross-linguistically. MLJ has an impact factor of 2.789, among the highest in linguistics.
