Rule Fossilization: A Tentative Model
Vigil, Neddy A.; Oller, John W.
Language Learning, 26, 2, 281-295, Dec 76
A cybernetic model of factors involved in the fossilization of grammatical and lexical forms in learner grammars is offered. A distinction is made between affective and cognitive dimensions of a multidimensional channel of human communication; and the effect of expected and unexpected feedback on these two dimensions is discussed.
