Communication Strategies in L1 and L2: Same or Different?
Bongaerts, Theo; Poulisse, Nanda
Applied Linguistics, v10 n3 p253-68 Sep 1989
Explores similarities and differences in native- and second- language referential communication through review of an experiment in which native Dutch speakers described unconventional abstract shapes first in Dutch and then in English. Subjects exhibited a preference, in both languages, for describing shapes in a holistic rather than segmental perspective. (32 references) (Author/CB)
