This paper offers a model for dealing with individuals as well as groups, variability as well as systematicity in L2 research. This model consists of a revised version of the Ordering-Theoretic Method (Bart and Krus 1973; Dulay and Burt 197413) in conjunction with implicational analysis as used in sociolinguistics. After a brief introduction to implicational analysis, I describe and illustrate the model presented here with data on the use of 13 grammatical morphemes in English by 89 Spanish-speaking learners. In the analysis of the data I follow Krashen and his colleagues in separating morphemes into V and NP; free and bound morphemes, as well as Decamp’s (1973:144) view that general implicational scales are ‘. . . surface composites resulting from simultaneous operation of simple grammatically-relevant underlying scales.’ The conclusions of this study support Krashen’s (1977) ‘Natural Order’ for the acquisition of grammatical morphemes, Larsen-Freeman’s (1976) work on frequency as an explanation for morpheme orders, and Rosansky’s (1976) work on frequency as an explanation for morpheme orders, and Rosansky’s (1976a,b) criticism of cross-sectional methodology for failing to deal with individual variation in the data, but rejects Rosansky’s claim that her cross-sectional analysis of her data does not agree with the longitudinal analysis of one of her subjects and thus invalidates her strongest argument against cross-sectional method- ology.
