Constructional network at work in second language acquisition

Abstract Second Language Acquisition (SLA) has benefited quite a lot from Construction Grammar. Most of the previous SLA researches adopting constructionist approach have been primarily engaged in issues pertinent to relevance construction SLA, process second language (L2) learning, and factors affecting L2 learning. This paper distinguishes itself research by embarking on new direction perspective constructional network. Specifically, it deals with how network works argues that bears imprint is reconstructed learners’ L1 The at least two ways which are manifested motivating function vertical links acquisition schematic complex constructions facilitative or inhibitive effect horizontal Admittedly, our description precursory nonexclusive, some general specific raised for future research.
