Quiz Chapter 6

Model of L2 syntactic growth that have two features: developmental features and variational features.

• Speech Learning Model (SLM)

• Multidimensional Model

• Developmental sequences

• Processability Theory

A theory that suggests that the processing load required to carry out syntactic manipulations at various stages of the Multidimensional Model can explain the order of stages.

• Fossilization

• Teachability Hypothesis

• Processability Theory

• Cognates

Large sets of usually computerized language data, making it easier to discover frequencies or patterns

• Pragmatics

• Language corpora

• Processability Theory

• Cognates

Interlanguage pragmatics (ILP) is the study of the effects of context and situation on meaning across languages.

• True

• False

Teachability Hypothesis proposes that one can successfully teach even what the L2 learner is not cognitively ready to learn.

• True

• False

The notion that certain features are more natural, frequent, or basic than others across languages.

• Unmarked

• Marked

• Overgeneralization

• Developmental sequences

The influence resulting from the similarities and differences between the target language and any other language that has been previously acquired.

• L1 influence

• Contrastive analysis approach

• Markedness

• Language transfer

The role the L1 plays may depend on a number of factors, including degree of differences between the L1 and the target language, and degree of literature in the L1.

• True

• False

Without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed.

• True

• False

Predicting L2 sounds similar to one’s in L1 will be difficult to perceive/ produce since learners already have L1 categories, entirely new sounds will be easier to perceive/produce.

• Fossilization

• Speech Learning Model (SLM)

• Multidimensional Model

• Cognates
