Nativization Model
- Developed by Roger Andersen
- Views language acquisition as a process predetermined by nativization and denativization
- Nativization:
- Characterized by assimilation, where learners seek to make input conform to their own idea of the L2 system

- Also evident in pidginization and early second and first language acquisition
- Pidginization:
- Simplified language that develops as a means of communication between groups with no common language
- Denativization:
- Associated with accommodation phenomena
- Learners adapt their inner system to the target language, interlanguage, to the input received
- Part of depidginization, late second and first language acquisition
