This paper has two major objectives: (1) to summarise Processability Theory, a processing-oriented approach to explaining language development and (2) to utilise this theory in the comparison of development in L1 and L2 acquisition. Proponents of the Fundamental Difference Hypothesis (between L1 and £1) assume that L1 development can be explained with reference to Universal Grammar (UG) which, in their view, is inaccessible to L2 learners. Instead, they claim that a second language develops on the basis of language processing strategies. I will show that the fundamentally different developmental path inherent in first second language acquisition can both be explained on the basis of the same language processing mechanics (as specified in Processability Theory). I will demonstrate that the developmental differences between L1 and £1 are caused by the qualitatively different early structural hypotheses which propagate through the acquisition process. The concept of "propagation of structural features" will be viewed as "generative entrenchment, " a logical-mathematical concept, whjch has proved to be highly productive in examining other kinds of developmental processes.
