Direct linkSaito, Kazuya; Sun, Hui; Kachlicka, Magdalena; Alayo, John Robert Carvajal; Nakata, Tatsuya; Tierney, Adam – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
In this study, we propose a hypothesis that domain-general auditory processing, a perceptual anchor of L1 acquisition, can serve as the foundation of successful post-pubertal L2 learning. This hypothesis was tested with 139 post-pubertal L2 immersion learners by linking individual differences in auditory discrimination across multiple acoustic…

O'Grady, William; Kwak, Hye-Young; Lee, On-Soon; Lee, Miseon – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2011
It is widely recognized that the processor has a key role to play in creating and strengthening the mapping between form and meaning that is integral to language use. Adopting an emergentist approach to heritage language acquisition, the current study considers the extent to which the operation of the processor can contribute to an account of what…

Gabriele, Alison – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2009
Previous studies have shown that it is particularly difficult for second language (L2) learners to overcome the effects of transfer when they need to unlearn specific aspects of the native language in the absence of explicit input that indicates which properties of the first language (L1) are ruled out by the L2 grammar (Inagaki, 2001;…

Peer reviewedSmith, Michael Sharwood – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1993
The concept of input to the language learner is examined with reference to some current theorizing about language processing and the idea of modular systems of knowledge. It is argued that exposure to a second language engages the learner in a whole battery of different processing mechanisms. (21 references) (Author/LB)

Peer reviewedSchwartz, Bonnie D. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1993
The hypothesis defended is that negative data and explicit data result in a type of knowledge that is not to be equated with linguistic competence. The specific claim is that only positive data can effect the construction of an interlanguage grammar comparable to the knowledge system characterizing the results of first-language acquisition. (60…

Sharma, Devyani – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2005
Stable nonnative varieties of English acquired and used in the absence of native English input can diverge systematically from native varieties over time (Cheshire, 1991; Kachru, 1983; Platt, Weber, & Ho, 1984). Focusing on Indian English article use, this study asks the following question: If divergence is indeed occurring, do new features…
