The Wave Model of Linguistic Change and the Naturalness of Interlanguage.
Zobl, Helmut
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v6 n2 p160-85 Spr 1984
Investigates whether the Wave Model of linguistic change can furnish a valid idealization for the patterning of variation in interlanguage systems and a scale for determining degree of naturalness. Data from 162 French-speaking adult learners were used to analyze the variability in the evolution of the English possessive determiners "his" and "her." (SED)
