Reconsidering the Role of Interaction and Input in Second Language Acquisition.

Braidi, Susan M.

Language Learning, v45 n1 p141-75 Mar 1995

Reviews research findings on second-language (L2) interaction from the perspective of syntactic development. The article argues that better understanding of the role of negotiated interaction in L2 syntactic development requires examining the specific grammatical structures in interaction guided by the criteria of relevance, availability, accessibility, and effect.
