| Date: | 2014-15 |
| Abstract: | This course studies how the syntax of English is acquired by non-native learners. We begin with a review of the order of elements in English sentences and compare this to word orders in other languages with the objective of considering if and how a native language may influence the process of acquiring a second language. We note the differences between L1 and L2 acquisition but concentrate on L2 acquisition, a process not fully determined by the native speaker's innate endowment. The course includes a practical component of analysis of errors in L2 production. |
