Abstract	This volume sheds empirical light on Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) by providing five sets of analyses of two longitudinal, interactional datasets, involving two dyads exchanging emails over one academic semester. The collective study on CDST is the first of its kind, in that it delves into multiple subsystems of learner language, traversing the domains of morphosyntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse. The data analyses expose the dynamics of the interactional process, offering evidence of core characteristics of complex dynamic systems: sensitive dependence on initial conditions, interconnectedness of subsystems, the emergence of attractor states over time and variation in and between the individuals. Together, the analyses, each alone an engaging description, capture fine-grained patterns of change over time. More importantly, they demonstrate the impact of the ecosystem on individuals' use of language. The book offers critical insights relevant to CDST researchers, theorists and empiricists alike, as well as to teachers seeking a nuanced understanding of the learning benefits of computer-mediated interactional activities. This book is organized into the following chapters: (1) Profiling Learner Language from a Complex Dynamic System Perspective: An Introduction (ZhaoHong Han and Jing Liu); (2) A Dynamic View on Morphosyntactic Accuracy and Complexity in Dyadic Interaction (Yuan-Yuan Meng); (3) A Dynamic View on Prepositions, Modal Auxiliaries and Metaphorical Functions in Dyadic Interaction (Natalia Sáez); (4) A Dynamic View on Advice Giving in Dyadic Interaction (Heidi Liu Banerjee); (5) A Dynamic View on Relational Propositions in Dyadic Interaction (Vanessa Sheu); (6) A Dynamic View on Topic Management in Dyadic Interaction (Farah Akbar); and (7) Researching CDST: Promises and Pitfalls (ZhaoHong Han).
