Topic Continuity in L2 English Article Use.
Jarvis, Scott
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v24 n3 p387-418 Sep 2002
Looks at systematicity from the perspective of two putative discourse universals related to topic continuity that have been addressed separately in past studies of article acquisition. Examines how these discourse universals account for patterns of article use and nonuse in narratives written by Finnish- and Swedish-speaking learners of English. (Author/VWL)
