Abstract
This chapter provides a theoretical foundation for the connection between L2 production on tasks and second language acquisition (SLA). The chapter focuses primarily on functional category development from a usage-based perspective as this area of development is the most relevant to the effect of specific tasks factors on development, but the impact of meaning-focused language use on language representation has been discussed for nearly three decades (Bybee, 1985, 2006; Langacker, 1987, 2000, 2008).
