Description and Explanation in Interlanguage Syntax: State of the Art

Abstract: The general theme chosen for this approach to interlanguage (IL) syntax "state of the art" is the presumed goal of all IL syntacticians: to find consistency and pattern in syntactic variation. There are two overlapping subsidiary themes as well: those of describing the systematicity in IL syntax and of explaining it. Themes contributing to descriptive approaches include the transition from morphosyntax acquisition studies to those of more complex syntax, the emergence of syntax from discourse, explicitness, th… Show more

“…For example, Rutherford (1984) maintains that "the assumption that... a study of what is learnt in IL [i.e. interlanguage] is tantamount to knowing how it is learnt" (130, emphases original) is one of the serious pitfalls in a product-oriented theory of acquisition.…”

“…The kind of stability which has been described for NIVEs, is generally not found in the speech of individual SLLs except in the speech of so-called fossilized learners. The production of SLLs has been shown to be highly variable, although debate continues on whether this variation is random or systematic (Ellis 1987;Rutherford 1984;Huebner 1983).…”

“…Variation has also recently become a major topic in second language acquisition research. In learner varieties, it has been found to have many sources and to be rule governed in some cases, while seemingly random in others (see Rutherford 1984). Corder (1977) has defined two types of language continua : developmental and lectal.…”

“…II s'agit ici de distinguer entre la faqon dont une langue est acquise, c'estä-dire le "comment" de l'acquisition du langage et le niveau de competence atteint dans la langue cible, c'est-ä-dire le "combien" du langage est acquis. Cette meme distinction a ete faite par et par Rutherford (1984).…”
