A study of the acquisition of interrogatives in French reveals limited strategies and the heterogeneity of linguistic models needed to…

PDF pending restorationCowan, J. Ronayne – 1976
One of the several causal mechanisms for errors made by adult second language learners is interference from the native language. This paper attempts to account for the cognitive nature of interference by proposing two psycholinguistically based principles that will explain various types of production and perception errors made of second language…
