Why Does the Production of Some Learners Not Grammaticalize?
Perdue, Clive; Klein, Wolfgang
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v14 n3 p259-72 Sep 1992
Two beginning learners of English were followed over a two-year period. In the early stages of acquisition, both developed a common learner variety determined by minimal requirements of the required tasks. One learner developed further morphosyntactic means to achieve greater cohesion in discourse but the other did not. Implications are discussed. (14 references) (Author/LB)
