Language complexity and L2 acquisition: a theoretical view

Abstract

This article aims to present a parameter for the analysis of linguistics, with the studies of Applied Linguistics. Firstly, however, we present the directions of the Studies of Language Complexity, and why the difference in the degree o complexity between Languages has become a taboo. This work is relevant because there is nothing or no other documentation on the same subject in Brazil or even in the Portuguese Language, by means of a list referring to the Language Complexity. Put in another way, what is done here, at least, is a possibility to measure such a degree that, though existing long ago, seems unattainable to Theoretical Linguistics.
