描述 | This book uniquely illustrates how second language acquisition(SLA) data can instigate linguistic exploration and help informlinguistic and acquisition theory in crucial ways. It also offers newperspectives toward our understanding of the relationship betweenfirst and second language acquisition, Universal Grammar (UG), and thetarget language input. Specifically, examination of the L2 developmentof pied-piping and preposition stranding in English questions andrelative clauses shows that the required preposition is frequentlyomitted by learners who have demonstrated accurate subcategorizationknowledge of verbal complements in related declarative constructions.The `null-prep‘ data in the L2 grammar leads to an importantcross-linguistic investigation of this largely ignored syntacticphenomenon in the world‘s languages; it also motivates exploration ofthe complex English input learners receive as positive evidence. Ananalysis of null-prep, piping and stranding is posited, including therelevant principles and parameters of UG involved. Based on thislinguistic analysis, alternative explanations for the L2 phenomenonare offered, representing challenges to UG and markedness-basedaccounts o |
