Mechanisms of Language Acquisition
Mechanisms of language acquisition have mostly been studied in isolation. Here, we review behavioral and imaging evidence concerning the role and the operation of three such mechanisms: statistical learning, rule extraction and perceptual primitives. Statistical learning is a general learning mechanism, found in animals, adults and infants, that tracks the distributional and statistical informa...
متن کاملthe role of task-based techniques on the acquisition of english language structures by the intermediate efl students
this study examines the effetivenss of task-based activities in helping students learn english language structures for a better communication. initially, a michigan test was administered to the two groups of 52 students majoring in english at the allameh ghotb -e- ravandi university to ensure their homogeneity. the students scores on the grammar part of this test were also regarded as their pre...
15 صفحه اولcritical period effects in foreign language learning:the influence of maturational state on the acquisition of reading,writing, and grammar in english as a foreign language
since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...
15 صفحه اولA Dynamical System Approach to Research in Second Language Acquisition
Epistemologically speaking, second language acquisition research (SLAR) might be reconsidered from a complex dynamical system view with interconnected aspects in the ecosystem of language acquisition. The present paper attempts to introduce the tenets of complex system theory and its application in SLAR. It has been suggested that the present dominant traditions in language acquisition research...
متن کاملLanguage Acquisition as Statistical Inference
Probabilistic grammars define a set of well-formed or grammatical linguistic structures, just as all grammars do. But in addition probabilistic grammars also define probability distributions over these structures, which a statistical inference procedure can exploit. This paper describes two simple statistical inference procedures for probabilistic grammars and discusses some of the challenges i...
