Verspoor has published journal articles and edited several books on different areas of linguistics, including second language development, effects of bilingual education, effects of cognitive insights into second language development, cognitive lingusitic approach to English complementation.[citation needed]
Verspoor was appointed as a
In 2009 she was nominated for the University of Groningen Best Lecturer Award 2009.[3]
She is one of the members of the Solidarity Award Committee of the International Association of Applied Linguistics along with Kees de Bot and Rosa Manchón.[4]
In 2016 she was one of the keynote speakers at the EUROSLA26 at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.[5]
In July 2020, a book, entitled Usage-based Dynamics in Second Language Acquisition, was published to honour her work in the field of applied linguistics. The book was edited by her colleagues at the University of Groningen, including Wander Lowie. Among the contributors there are Ronald Langacker, Diane Larsen-Freeman, Luke Harding and Kees de Bot.[6] The book was planned to be presented to her at the AILA conference in Groningen. However, the conference was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Works
Verspoor has published articles in journals such as Applied Linguistics, Journal of Second Language Writing,[7] The Modern Language Journal, Language Teaching Research, and Language Learning.[8]
In 2004 she wrote a seminal article along with
In 2015 Verspoor presented A dynamic perspective on developmental patterns in Finnish as an L2 at the ELC 4. Fourth International Postgraduate Conference on Language and Cognition at the University of Vigo.[10]
In 2017 Verspoor's first article was published in which she and her colleagues applied the
She is also noted for her work on language complexity. She proposed the finite verb ratio index to measure general syntactic complexity and the average word length of content words to gauge lexical complexity in second language writing development.
