LING 350 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Metalinguistic Awareness, Limbic System, Proprioception
Document Summary
Practice leads to neural entities other than those that are controlled those involving implicit knowledge & automatic processing skills in l2 become more proficient. Automatic processes can be voluntarily started or stopped (intention) Intention initiates the verbal encoding of a message, Speaker is conscious of output of generative grammar, but not conscious of computational procedures that generate it. You know how to work with word order, how to change word order when you change a declarative sentence into a question, etc. You do not know how your brain knows the mechanism that leads to this translation from declarative to interrogative. What is internalized: the kinesthetic articulatory programs acquired through proprioceptive feedback . Qualitatively different from what has been focused upon. L2 acquisition of phonology: practicing of initial controlled use of metalinguistic rules or instructions will construct neural substrates that form implicit knowledge (beyond conscious control). Parallel can be extended to morphosyntactic and semantic knowledge.
