Linguistic Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition
Recent Research in Language Learning Studies
From the perspective of a psycholinguist, I discuss 3 leading questions that have arisen from a number of foundational, descriptive SLA studies: First, considering the language to be learned, why are certain L2 constructions learnable and others not? What is it about these constructions which makes them so difficult to acquire? Second, in considering input requirements, can we say that adult learners can take advantage of metalinguistic informati…
Second language acquisition
In this article I shall attempt to characterize some of the stresses and strains experienced by researchers in the field of second language acquisition (SLA), both intellectual and personal. I shall offer my perspective on how we are responding, and how we should be responding, to those stresses and strains. Together with this discussion of academic politics, I will interweave two research lines I consider important, research lines unique to the …

Linguistic Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition
Linguistic Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition
This volume explores how a second language is acquired and what learners must do in order to achieve proficiency. The paperback edition is a collection of original essays that approaches second language acquisition from a linguistic rather than a sociological, psychological, or purely pedagogical perspective. A wide range of viewpoints and approaches is represented. The essays in this book provide an incisive analysis of how a second language is …
Second Language Acquisition and Its Relationship to Universal Grammar
For almost twenty years (following Corder 1967) much study of second language acquisition has been carried out with the assumption or outright claim that the basic processes underlying both first and second language acquisition are the same. Recent formulations of this notion make use of the currently evolving theory of Universal Grammar, arguing from the module-specific assumption of linguistic knowledge and arguing that adults are faced with th…
Three Approaches to the Study of Input
Within the field of second language acquisition research, one can discern three different approaches to the study of the input requirements of second language learners: the data-oriented approach, the language-model approach, and the processing-model approach. In this article, each approach is characterized and its strengths and weaknesses are pointed out. Then one type of input, metalinguistic input, is identified, and the three approaches are c…
The Hand Signal System
The question of how classroom teachers can best provide negative feedback (corrections) to their students when they produce oral grammatical errors needs more attention than it has received, since in the typical classroom a considerable amount of time is devoted to such feedback. When a student produces an error the teacher needs to make an instantaneous decision, not only on whether to correct the error but also on how to correct it. This articl…
Some Reservations concerning Error Analysis
The argument over the relative merits of contrastive analysis and error analysis has persisted for some time. In general, proponents of error analysis have been more convincing. However, although the weaknesses of contrastive analysis have been extensively discussed, little has been said about the potential for corresponding weaknesses in error analysis. Six areas in error analysis which exhibit potential weaknesses are: (1) the analysis of error…

Learner Intuitions of Grammatically
In order to characterize learner transitional competence adequately and to identify particular learning strategies of students learning a second language, both the actual performance of the learners and their intuitions about the target language must be taken into consideration. Grammaticality judgments by adult target language learners can be a valid means of obtaining the necessary intuitional data. We developed a method of eliciting intuitions…
An Error in Error Analysis1
Presently, a number of proponents of an error analysis approach to the investigation of 2nd language learning argue that contrastive analysis (CA) apriori is inadequate as an account of target language learning problems. They claim that the only tenable version of CA is an aposteriori approach, i.e. CA in just those areas that have been proven by error analysis to be difficulties in production. This claim is disputed in a study involving the acqu…
