In such regard, it may be the ca<strong>se</strong>that the influence of psychological variables can be morestrongly differentiated in the explanation of readingcomprehension in L1 due to the fact that the reader w<strong>ou</strong>ldhave already developed and internalized a s<strong>ou</strong>nd spectrumof lexical, <strong>se</strong>mantic, syntactic and grammatical decodingskills, thus making it more feasible to discriminate thedifferential impact of psychological variables, inthem<strong>se</strong>lves more distal to the central process under study.On the other hand, the impact of linguistic variables in theexplanation of text processing variability in L2 w<strong>ou</strong>ld beexpected to be more preeminent, since the readers’ lexical,syntactic and grammatical repertories w<strong>ou</strong>ld tend to bemore limited as a result of the limited level of linguisticcompetence in the foreign language. Hence, uponconstructing meaning from text the specialized proces<strong>se</strong>sassociated with the linguistic dimension of analysis w<strong>ou</strong>ldconstitute the strongest determinants in the constructionof meaning from text.To conclude, the model validated from this studyprovides a preliminary, non-exhaustive explanationof an otherwi<strong>se</strong> extremely complex phenomenon: thedevelopment of academic written disc<strong>ou</strong>r<strong>se</strong>processing skills in a foreign language. In suchregard, further re<strong>se</strong>arch is needed in order tobroaden <strong>ou</strong>r explanatory framework, integrating theanalysis of the contribution of additional predictivevariables not considered in this investigation whichmay include vocabulary knowledge in L2 (Nation,1983), lexical access (Baddeley, Loggie, Nimmo-Smith & Brereton, 1985), previ<strong>ou</strong>s knowledge(Afferbach, 1990); and socially-related factors(Parry, 1993; Street, 1993; Au, 1998)REFERENCESAfferbach, P.
