Document Summary
Bilingual speakers/communities where proficiency in more than two languages is the norm. Additive bilingualism - i. e. , learning french in b. c. Subtractive bilingualism i. e. , learning new language and actively pressured to get rid of first language. Weird one-off studies (e. g. , one study claimed bilingualism caused stuttering) Stigma of semiliteracy attached to codeswitching (switching from language to language mid- sentence) Enhanced divergent thinking ability (iq tests focus on convergent thinking) Interlanguage second language learners" incomplete system of mental representation that is influenced by both native language and target language (l2) Interlanguage is systematic, no such thing as a wild grammar . Influence by an l1 on sla comes through transfer. When interlanguage stops changing, it is fossilized. 4 main subcompetencies consists of i. e. , grammatical, textual, sociolinguistic, illocutionary. One-size-fits-all approach implies hierarchy and linearity in second language learning that aren"t really there. Sla theories comes in either property theories or transition theories. L1 speech is going to impact our l2 speech (transfer)
