Input-Driven Language Learning.
Harrington, Michael; Dennis, Simon
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v24 n2 p261-68 Jun 2002
Responds to Ellis (2002), which suggests the statistical structure of the linguistic environment is a crucial and relatively neglected variable in language learning. This approach makes three assumptions about cognition and language learning that are not universally shared. Describes a distributed, instance-based approach that retains key features of the input-driven account advocated by Ellis but also addresses shortcomings of current approaches. (Author/VWL)
