Ad Minorem Theoriae Gloriam. A Response to Eubank and Gregg.

Schumann, John H.

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v17 n1 p59-63 Mar 1995

Responds to L. Eubank and K. R. Gregg article (this issue), suggesting that they present a narrow view of language that they wish the field of language acquisition to share. It is suggested that Eubank and Gregg contend that the only thing to be explained is the human capacity for grammatical competence. This belief discounts, misrepresents, or ignores individual variation in language acquisition. (11 references) (NAV)
