Abstract
The rest of the paper will be spent expositing and, when necessary, critiquing, some of the literature on second language processing. I will pay particular attention to the recent Shallow Structure Hypothesis (SSH), due to Clahsen and Felser. In contrast to squabbles about the vague notion of access, the SSH provides a concrete, empirically backed interpretation of second language processing. The theory has the potential to shed substantive light on the workings of second language. It goes to show, by contrast, that the access question can at best be considered a secondary concern.
