This study addresses this gap by examining how selected lexical, syntactic, and morphological complexity indices predict L2 Spanish learners’ standardized proficiency scores. We analyzed a corpus of 3,034 essays from L2 Spanish learners, utilizing their standardized placement test scores as a continuous measure of proficiency. A multiple linear regression model identified a concise set of complexity indices that effectively predicted proficiency scores, explaining a significant portion of the variance ( R 2 = .557). Results reveal a clear proficiency-based linguistic profile: advanced writing was significantly predicted by greater phrasal complexity, sustained clausal subordination, and higher lexical sophistication. In contrast, beginners’ writing was characterized by simpler syntactic strategies. These findings provide a robust, empirically derived profile of L2 Spanish writing development, offering valuable implications for pedagogical instruction, assessment rubrics, and automated evaluation tools.","PeriodicalId":47770,"journal":{"name":"Language Teaching","volume":"188 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149187936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on phenomenology, existential philosophy, pathography, and East Asian wisdom traditions, this article examines the relationship between growing ill and growing still, being a patient and developing patience. While contemporary accounts of illness have richly described experiences of temporal distortion, boredom, loss, and desynchronization, less attention has been given to the possibility that illness may also cultivate forms of composure, attentiveness, and moral endurance. We argue that the temporal disruptions associated with illness, disability, and aging, by interrupting the accelerated rhythms of late modern life, can create opportunities for stillness, presence, and renewed responsiveness. For this we coin the term st/illness. We also distinguish between being a patient, insofar as it connotes passivity and dependence, and being patient, an active virtue that allows one to meet the temporal demands imposed by bodily limitation and breakdown. While not minimizing or romanticizing the physical and emotional suffering often associated with illness, the article explores how illness can also function as a pharmakon in the Greek sense-both poison and remedy-revealing possibilities for resonance, contemplative presence, and existential transformation. This offers a framework for understanding how patients may sometimes flourish within, rather than despite the altered temporalities of illness.</p>","PeriodicalId":47449,"journal":{"name":"Medicine Health Care and Philosophy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149208031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
