On Explicit and Negative Data Effecting and Affecting Competence and Linguistic Behavior.

Schwartz, Bonnie D.

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v15 n2 p147-63 Jun 1993

The hypothesis defended is that negative data and explicit data result in a type of knowledge that is not to be equated with linguistic competence. The specific claim is that only positive data can effect the construction of an interlanguage grammar comparable to the knowledge system characterizing the results of first-language acquisition.
