| The development of syntactic complexity is a major concern in academic writing. Research on English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP) has greatly neglected longitudinal investigation of the development of syntactic complexity. Guided by the skill acquisition theory, this study examined syntactic complexity for over two decades in the articles published by a native and a non-native scholar, focusing on changes in 14 syntactic measures. The aim was to document change over time and increase in writing experience. Applying a retrospective case study design, the researchers analyzed abstracts and conclusions of 75 articles written from 2000 to 2024, using the L2 Syntactic Complexity Analyzer (L2SCA), a web-based tool that calculates syntactic complexity. We analyzed the resulting numerical data using linear regression to identify trends in syntactic change. The findings revealed that the non-native writer's abstracts improved syntactically with time/experience, favoring longer and more sophisticated sentences. In abstracts, the native writer showed higher association with time in sentence length than the non-native writer (annual increase of 0.25 for the native and 0.08 for the non-native writer). In conclusion sections, the non-native writer progressively simplified clauses while the native one demonstrated a higher association with time in sentence length (-0.4 for non-native and +0.4 for native). The findings underscore the role of publishing experience over time and first language background as variables related to syntactic development in ERPP based on the calculated regressions. Results also imply that support for the learning of syntactic sophistication should be an inseparable part of ERPP pedagogy. | ||
