抄録

This work postulates the thesis of the Inability of Organic Scripts (IOS), which argues that the writing systems that evolved naturally, shaped exclusively by sociocultural factors, are inherently unable to adequately serve second-language acquisition (SLA) because their limitations interfere deeply and negatively with the process, pushing the foundations of the target L2 (second language) outside of the learner’s zone of proximal development during a crucial stage of SLA. This work ultimately advocates for the elaboration and usage of Linguistically Expanded Scripts to help overcome the obstacles caused by IOS during SLA.
