Re-engaging the interface debate: strong, weak, none, or all?

چکیده
In the history of SLA research, the relationship between explicit and implicit knowledge has incited heated debate, culminating in, broadly, three disparate positions: (a) the non-interface; (b) the weak-interface; and (c) the stronginterface. In this paper, we re-engage the theoretical debate. Unlike the previous discussions, however, which typically find researchers espousing one position against another – usually the non-interface position, we claim that in the interlanguage of any L2 learners, there is likely both explicit and implicit knowledge, but, more important, three types of relationships co-existing between them: a strong interface, a weak interface, and no interface. We argue that further advances in SLA research would benefit from a concerted effort to identify which aspects of grammar are susceptible to a strong, weak, or no interface relation.

The Distribution of Weak and Strong Object Re exives in Dutch
We use a syntactically annotated corpus to study the distribution of strong and weak re exive objects in Dutch. Whereas previous work was limited to a small set of accidental re exive verbs, we look at all transitive verbs in the corpus. We use subcategorization frames to approximate verb senses. We show that comparing the rate of pronominal usage to re exive usage is a better predictor of stro...
متن کاملStrong & Weak Methods: A Logical View of Uncertainty
The last few years has seen a growing debate about techniques for managing uncertainty in AI systems. Unfortunately this debate has been cast as a rivalry between AI methods and classical probability based ones. Three arguments for extending the probability framework of uncertainty are presented, none of which imply a challenge to classical methods. These are (1) explicit representation of seve...
متن کاملCongestion Status Identification Using Slack Based Models in Data Envelopment Analysis
Congestion is a wasteful stage of the production process where outputs are reduced due to excessive amount of inputs. There are several approaches in data envelopment analysis (DEA) literatures to treat congestion. The concept of strong and weak congestion first developed by Tone and Sahoo [Tone, K., Sahoo, B.K., 2004. Degree of scale economies and congestion: A unified DEA approach. European J...
متن کاملStructural dynamics of the actin-myosin interface by site-directed spectroscopy.
We have used site-directed spin and fluorescence labeling to test molecular models of the actin-myosin interface. Force is generated when the actin-myosin complex undergoes a transition from a disordered weak-binding state to an ordered strong-binding state. Actomyosin interface models, in which residues are classified as contributing to either weak or strong binding, have been derived by fitti...
متن کاملPropranolol–induced Impairment of Contextual Fear Memory Reconsolidation in Rats: A Similar Effect on Weak and Strong Recent and Remote Memories
Introduction: Previous studies have demonstrated that the &beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol impairs fear memory reconsolidation in experimental animals. There are experimental parameters such as the age and the strength of memory that can interact with pharmacological manipulations of memory reconsolidation. In this study, we investigated the ability of the age and the strength o...
