In Search of Sytematicity in Interlanguage Production.
Schacter, Jacquelyn
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v8 n2 p119-33 Jun 1986
Analyzes the results of a 1975 study of a 12-year-old Spanish speaker with regard to his acquisition of negation in English. The hypothesis of formulating/testing second language learning is reaffirmed with an alternate explanation of variation in syntactic forms. Results show that free variation is functionally determined. (LMO)
