Why Two Are Not Always Better than One: Effects of the Non-Integrated Execution of Related Syntactic and Morphological Rules.

Chavez, Monika M. Th.

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v4 n1 p101-29 1994

The interaction of rules concerning verb placement and verbal conjugation in the acquisition of German as a foreign language is discussed. A study using constrained written tasks showed that accuracy in verbal conjugation varies by word-order environment and improves in tasks that focus solely on conjunction. Tests are appended. (Contains 49 references.) (Author/LB)
