A Dynamical System Approach to Research in Second Language Acquisition
Epistemologically speaking, second language acquisition research (SLAR) might be reconsidered from a complex dynamical system view with interconnected aspects in the ecosystem of language acquisition. The present paper attempts to introduce the tenets of complex system theory and its application in SLAR. It has been suggested that the present dominant traditions in language acquisition research...
متن کاملRobust Language Acquisition - an Emergent Consequence of Language as a Complex Adaptive System
Each of us as learners had different language experiences, yet we have converged on broadly the same language system. From diverse, noisy samples, we end up with similar competence. How so? Some views hold that there are constraints in the learner’s estimation of how language works, as expectations of linguistic universals pre-programmed in some innate language acquisition device. Others hold t...
متن کاملLanguage as a Complex Adaptive System
The paper surveys recent work on modeling the origins of communication systems in groups of autonomous distributed agents. It is shown that five principles gleaned from biology are crucial: reinforcement learning, selforganisation, selectionism, co-evolution through structural coupling, and level formation.

متن کاملMetathesis: Language as a Complex Adaptive System
It is now well understood that language use shapes the acoustic delivery of phonological patterns and, in particular, phonological change. One example of this type of language change-under-use is metathesis, the reversal of the expected linear ordering of sounds. The gradual transformation of chipotle to chipolte, a Spanish import, is an example of metathetic change in American English. The Gen...
متن کاملsecond language acquisition of telicity and aspect by persian learners of english
این تحقیق از دو قسمت اصلی تشکیل شده است: در قسمت اول فراگیری ختمیت به ویژه درک و تولید اینگونه جملات توسط فراگیران ایرانی زبان انگلیسی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. قضاوت تعدادی انگلیسی زبان بر روی این جملات نیز هدفی دیگر بود که در این رساله بررسی شده است. از موضوعات دیگر تفاوت بین نشانه های ختمیت در زبان انگلیسی و فارسی و تاثیر زبان اول فراگیران در درک و تولید اینگونه جملات است. در قسمت دوم استفا...
