Straight on through to Universal Grammar: Spatial modifiers in second language acquisition
There has been considerable progress in second language (L2) research at the syntax– semantics interface addressing how syntax can inform phrasal semantics, in terms of interpretive correlates of word order (Slabakova, 2008). This article provides evidence of a flow of information ostensibly in the opposite direction, from meaning to grammar, at the interface between lexical semantics and synta...

متن کاملA Study of Chomsky’s Universal Grammar in Second Language Acquisition
Universal Grammar (UG) proposed by Chomsky (1986) has gained a large popularity in linguistics study. The paper firstly illustrates the background and major contents of UG and second language acquisition (SLA). Then it addresses the three hypotheses of UG in SLA, which center on whether adult language learners have access to the principles and parameters of UG in constructing the grammar of a s...
متن کاملThe role of Universal Grammar in second language acquisition
This paper discusses the question of whether Universal Grammar is relevant to the study of second language acquisition—in particular second language phonology. It will be shown that the notion of Universal Grammar has been hard to define coherently, which makes it difficult to implement it in second language acquisition research. One framework which offers a possibly explicit definition of Univ...
متن کاملA 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...
