This dissertation explores the underlying structure of second language (L2) fluency by investigating inter-learner variability via a comparison of the relative contributions of two understudied variables, intelligence and personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism, openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness) versus known L2 fluency predictors, namely, first language (L1) fluency, and L2 lexical and grammatical proficiency. Previous research has rarely considered the effects of intelligence and personality on L2 fluency, despite their omnipresence in psychology studies. Two exceptions are Dewaele (1999) and Dewaele & Furnham (2000) who found positive correlations between extraversion and L2 fluency measures, suggesting that personality may contribute to L2 fluency variation. However, this previous research failed to control for L1 fluency and L2 proficiency, known corelates of L2 fluency (e.g., Hilton, 2008; Riazantseva, 2001), lacked comprehensive fluency analyses, and relied on univariate analyses that cannot compare the effect sizes of multiple fluency predictors.In the present study, L1 and L2 speech data were elicited from 73 advanced Anglophone learners of French via a picture description task and analyzed for seven standard fluency measures. The Big Five Aspect Scales test (DeYoung, Quilty, & Peterson, 2007) and a short form of Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (Bilker, Hansen, Brensinger, Richard, Gur & Gur, 2012) evaluated personality and intelligence. A Vocabulary Levels Test and a sentence scramble test (Department of French Studies, 2020) measured lexical and grammatical proficiency.Correlational analyses demonstrated significant relationships between L2 fluency and L1 fluency, L2 lexical and grammatical proficiency, and openness to experience. Sequential regressions revealed that L1 fluency explained more L2 fluency variance than proficiency. Openness to experience was not a significant predictor after accounting for L1 fluency. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of the relative importance of L2 fluency predictors including personality and intelligence and makes a methodological contribution via its use of multivariate statistics.
