2
The theoretical significance of UG in second language acquisition Present by Esther, Karen, Mei
3
The relationship between UG and POS What is POS and examples Why we are talking about POS and UG
4
The relationship between UG and POS What is POS and examples “ poverty of the stimulus ” → the environment does not give one enough information, but one seems to know it
5
The relationship between UG and POS What is POS and examples EX : Learner hears : She is coming. She ’ s coming. Is she coming? Yes, she is. Is she coming? Yes, she ’ s.
6
The relationship between UG and POS Why we are talking about POS and UG L1 → POS → UG ↓ L2 → POS → UG
7
I 、 UG and the significance of L2-L1 differences By Esther
8
The definition of UG The innate principles and properties that pertain to the grammars of all human languages.
9
Whether UG is involved in SLA (post-childhood) 1.Fundamental differences developmental differences between L2 and L1 learners
10
L1 → the onset of acquisition L1 → the onset of acquisition → subsequent development → subsequent development L2 → apparent fossilization prior to the L2 → apparent fossilization prior to the achievement of full target-like achievement of full target-like behavior behavior The differences between L2 and L1 learners
11
2.Systems of grammatical competence Whether UG is involved in SLA (post-childhood)
12
Types of POS argument : → Argument 1 Locality constraints on wh-phrase movement in L2 grammars (Martohardjona)
13
BUT …………. In the case of locality constraints there is no positive evidence in the input bearing on the matter
14
→ Argument 2 An interlanguage is found in one of the world's language (Schwartz &Sprouse)
15
Whether UG is involved in SLA (post-childhood) 3.Difference- oriented A more compelling reason for UG-based research → explain L2-L1differences
16
II 、 UG, SLA, and explanation By Karen
17
1. The limitation of POS Studies Schwartz & Sprouse ’ s proposal Although Schwartz&Sprouse describe different kind of POS phenomena but their account does not advance our understanding of UG.
18
2. Difference-oriented Approach full access to UG 1) a theory of performance 2) a theory of interaction of input and acquisition → SLA would provide a different kind of window on UG
19
3. Evidence Research 1 : Chinese speakers overt movement is not involved Chinese speakers ’ English grammars involve a different kind of wh-movement from syntactic feature – driven movement
20
Research 2 : an example of “ selective fossilization ” in the L2 English of a Chinese speaker described (Lardiere 1998a; 1998b; 2000)
21
Conclusion POS does have relationship with UG Differences-oriented
