  • Exploring the relationships between theories of second language acquisition and Relevance Theory

    Open AccessBeatriz Mariz Maia de Paiva, Susan H Foster-Cohen et al.ARTICLESecond language Research2004Citada por: 4

    This article explores a number of points at which Relevance Theory makes a useful contribution to second language theoretical models, specifically those of Bialystok and Schmidt and their respective notions of ‘analysis’, ‘control’ and ‘noticing’.It is suggested that the inferential mechanisms of Relevance Theory can account for the contingencies of communicative interaction without which pragmatic negotiations do not make sense, and thus can com…

  • Relevance Theory, Action Theory and second language communication strategies

    Open AccessSusan H Foster-Cohen, Susan Foster‐CohenARTICLESecond language Research2004Citada por: 4Referências: 1

    The discussion in this article offers a comparison between Relevance Theory as an account of human communication and Herbert Clark’s (1996)sociocognitive Action Theory approach. It is argued that the differences are fundamental and impact analysis of all kinds of naturally occurring communicative data, including that produced by non-native speakers. The differences are discussed and illustrated with data from second language communication strateg…

  • Modularity and Principles and Parameters

    Open AccessSusan H Foster-Cohen, Susan Foster‐CohenARTICLEFirst Language1996

    This paper provides an overview of some of the advantages of the Principles and Parameters approach to language acquisition research, and suggests that modularity is a particularly helpful feature of this approach. It argues that serious attention to modularity clarifies research thinking, encouraging us to examine the boundaries between modules in constructive ways. Particular attention is paid to the boundary between syntax and pragmatics as il…

  • Exploring the boundary between syntax and pragmatics

    Open AccessSusan H Foster-Cohen, Susan Foster‐CohenARTICLEJournal of Child Language1994

    This paper explores the interface between syntax and pragmatics, focusing on the binding of pronouns and the pragmatics of the paradigms used to test this aspect of syntactic knowledge. Reinhart's (1986) version of Binding Theory (which accords a specific role to pragmatics in processes of pronoun resolution) and Sperber & Wilson's (1986) Theory of Relevance are used to examine the syntax and pragmatics of pronoun interpretation. A set of predict…

  • Directions of influence in first and second language acquisition research

    Open AccessSusan H Foster-Cohen, Susan Foster‐CohenARTICLESecond language Research1993Citada por: 3Referências: 5

    This article explores ways in which studies in second language acquisition (SLA) research can illuminate first language acquisition research. The discussion revolves around the issues of learner strategies, individual variation, the acquisition of late learned structures, bilingualism, the role of Universal Grammar (UG) and the fate of obsolete knowledge in acquisition. It is argued that second language research in these (and other) areas can pro…
