Document Summary
How & why language features go together. Provide examples of words containing these combos. Str (e. g. , strong), srt (e. g. , first), rst, rts (e. g. , starts), trs, tsr. Today: going to consider role of frequency of exposure in learning a language: as well as other factors related to frequency. Krashen"s monitor model: acquisition-learning hypothesis, unconscious vs. conscious learning, monitor hypothesis, acquired info monitored, natural order hypothesis. Input hypothesis: comprehensible input i+1, affective filter hypothesis, mental screen" can prevent info getting to acquisition centre. Part of usage-based perspective: language constructions emerge from real communicative events. What we store in memory is established through frequent practice. Language specific learning device isn"t considered to be innately specified (i. e. ug: language emerges out of complex network of interconnections b/w neurons, inspired by structure of nervous system. Language learned through exposure to language in environment. Exposure allows construction of association among units sound sequences, words, sentence patterns.
