This paper investigates the L2 acquisition of English word-final stops (codas) by Brazilian Portuguese speakers in a classroom environment. The analysis is couched within a stochastic version of Optimality Theory (i.e. the Gradual Learning Algorithm) and follows a sociolinguistic approach for data collection and analysis. This study promotes a multidisciplinary approach for the analysis of variation in second language acquisition that combines theoretical and methodological tools from three linguistic disciplines in an attempt to develop a "socially realistic linguistics".
