Study Notes
Grammatical Morphemes in Language Acquisition
- Grammatical morphemes have been crucial in understanding the mechanisms of second language acquisition in adults.
- The study of grammatical morphemes has revealed the distinction between acquired and learned grammars, and when conscious learning is involved.
- Brown's discovery showed that children acquiring English as a first language exhibit a similar order of acquisition for grammatical morphemes in obligatory contexts.
- This discovery was later extended to child second language acquisition by researchers such as Dulay and Burt, Kessler and Idar, and Rosansky.
- The "natural order" in adult performers has enabled researchers to investigate the interaction between language acquisition and learning in adult performers.
Natural Order of Grammatical Morphemes
- Adult second language acquirers exhibit a "natural order" for eight grammatical morphemes, similar to child second language acquirers.
- Larsen-Freeman (1975) reported a "natural order" for both BSM and SLOPE tests, which elicited similar results.
