To Simplify or Not to Simplify: A Look at Intake.

Leow, Ronald P.

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v15 n3 p333-55 Sep 1993

The effects of simplification, type of linguistic item, and second-language experience on learners' intake of linguistic items contained in written input were studied. Results suggest that simplification does not have a facilitating effect on learners' intake. Sample passages are appended. (56 references) (Author/LB)
