A Misdiagnosed Population
Research Notes
Some Guidelines for the Assessment of Oral Language Proficiency and Dominance
According to the Survey of Languages Supplement to the July 1975 Current Population Survey, more than 7.6 million school age students in the United States live in households where languages other than English are spoken. Given these language environments, one's degree of bilingualism may theoretically range from a point approximating monolingualism to a state of balanced bilingualism. With such a range of possible degrees of bilingualism, there i…
Errors and Strategies in Child Second Language Acquisition
The study attempts to determine whether the syntactic errors children make while learning a second language are due to native language or to cognitive strategies as has been found in first language acquisition. 513 utterances containing errors were extracted from the natural speech of 179 children, 5-8 years old, learning English as a second language. Only those errors which could be classified without question as interference or developmental we…
Natural Sequences in Child Second Language Acquisition 1
The acquisition sequences of 11 English functors were compared for native Chinese‐ and Spanish‐speaking children learning English. Three different methods of speech analysis used to obtain the sequences are described in detail. All three methods yielded approximately the same sequence of acquisition for both language groups. This finding provides strong support for the existence of universal child language learning strategies and suggests a progr…
A New Perspective on the Creative Construction Process in Child Second Language Acquisition1
A new perspective is outlined on the creative construction process in second language acquisition. First, an attempt is made to use Brown's notions of semantic and linguistic complexity to account for differences between first and second language acquisition orders. Second, the notions "learning complexity" and "learning strategy" are clarified. Third, an alternative to rank order analyses of acquisition sequence is presented, along with some fin…
Should We Teach Children Syntax
Two research studies on child L2 acquisition were conducted sequentially over the last year. The first study used comparative error analysis to determine whether the actual L2 errors children make can be accounted for by "creative construction" or "habit formation." The findings provided the impetus for the second study which compared the sequence of acquisition of certain grammatical morphemes in three different groups of children, using a cross…
Goofing
From the viewpoint of syntactic error analysis, we look for children's second language (L2) learning strategies as manifested in their L2 speech. We discuss two conflicting hypotheses: 1) the contrastive analysis hypothesis which predicts that L2 goofs (errors) will result from first language (L1) interference, and 2) the L2 = L1 hypothesis which predicts that L2 goofs will be similar to L1 goofs and are not the result of negative transfer. We pr…
