    Abstract

    Study abroad has become a prolific area of second language acquisition (SLA)
    research and, in particular, a new stream in SLA research, specifically from within a
    variationist perspective, has started investigating sociolinguistic and sociopragmatic
    variation in the second language (L2). Combining insights from sociolinguistic
    variation and SLA, this contribution, which is part of an ongoing PhD research
    project, is based on a longitudinal analysis conducted over a time span of a
    semester (January-June 2015) at University College Cork (UCC), Ireland. In
    particular, the aim of this study is to examine participants’ use of the discourse
    marker ‘well’ in their oral production over time.
